The CMS electromagnetic calorimeter readout

Creators

Description

CMS is a general-purpose detector designed for use in the large hadron collider (LHC) at CERN. The electromagnetic calorimeter will play an important role in electron and photon energy measurements. The benchmark process to evaluate and optimize its performance is H → γγ in the intermediate mass range (90 < mH < 150 GeV). For this purpose, each element of the readout chain has to be optimized. This paper discusses the readout chain of the CMS electromagnetic calorimeter and preliminary results obtained from prototype components
