Progress in high density projection chambers

  • 1. European Organization for Nuclear Research, Geneva, Switzerland

Description

The High Density Projection Chamber (HPC) is a sampling calorimeter where shower conversion and detection is separated. It offers a simple and homogeneous large volume detector with an energy resolution of (10-11)%/√E, an inherent resolution transverse to the shower axis of 100 μm and an exceptionally fine granularity along the shower. The use of this detector in a colliding beam experiment will be discussed
