Study of electromagnetic calorimeter and shower maximum detector elements with scintillators and wave length shifter optical fibers

Description

Structure of electromagnetic calorimeter and shower maximum detector is described. The electromagnetic calorimeter consists of four sections each of them containing 7 lead plates 4 mm thick alternating with scintillation plates 5 mm thick. Fiber-optical reemitter 1.3 mm in diameter joins the scintillation plates. The total length of the optical fiber in the section equals 2.5 m. The calorimeter energy resolution was measured on electron beams of 26 GeV and pion beams of 39 GeV. The calorimeter energy resolution is evaluated as equal to 18%/√E. The calorimeter is intented for RHIC experiments on the STAR facility. 7 refs., 10 figs
