2. Nov. 7, 2002Jae Yu: GEM Based DHCAL2 Introduction LC physics topics –Distinguish W from Z in two jet final states  Good jet mass resolution –Higher Jet energy resolution; –Excellent jet angular resolution Energy flow algorithm is one of the solutions –Replace charged track energy with momentum measured in the tracking system Requires efficient removal of associated energy cluster  Good position resolution Higher calorimeter granularity –Use calorimeter only for neutral particle energies –Best known method for jet energy resolution improvement Large number of readout channel will drive up the cost for analogue style energy measurement  Digital HCAL Tracking calorimeter with high gain sensitive gap

3. Nov. 7, 2002Jae Yu: GEM Based DHCAL3 Goals for UTA DHCAL Development Develop digital hadron calorimetry for use with EFA –Aim for cost effectiveness and high granularity –Look for a good tracking device for the sensitive gap Develop GEM cell(s) and prototype Develop module/stack design for EFA optimization Simulate GEM behavior in calorimeter Implement GEM readout structure into simulation Develop EF and calorimeter tracking algorithms Cost effective, large scale GEM DHCAL

4. Nov. 7, 2002Jae Yu: GEM Based DHCAL4 Why GEM? GEM developed by F. Sauli (CERN) for use as pre-amplification stage for MSGC’s Allow flexible and geometrical design, using printed circuit readout  Can be as fine a readout as GEM tracking chamber!! High gains, above 10 4,with spark probabilities per incident  less than 10 -10 Fast response –40ns drift time for 3mm gap with ArCO 2 Relatively low HV –A few 100V per each GEM gap compared to 10-16kV for RPC Rather reasonable cost –Foils are basically copper-clad kapton –~$400 for a specially prepared and framed 10cmx10cm foil
