The ATLAS zero degree calorimeter

  • 1. Brookhaven National Laboratory, New York (United States)

Description

In May of 2009 the ATLAS zero degree calorimeter was installed in its initial configuration and integrated into the ATLAS trigger/daq. The detector was designed to measure Global characteristics of events-particulary in PbPb collisions-through the measurement of energy and position of very forward neutral particles. Here we discuss the design and tests-particularly of radiation hardness.
