2. V. Korbel, DESY, CALICEMontpellier, France, 13-16 November 2003 2 Single looped fibre strong fibre bending, most stress on fibres, probably ageing damages? tiles, fibers, light yield Centre/straight WLS-fibreDiagonal/bent WLS-fibre No stress on fibre, fibre end reflector =tile reflector L=7,85cm L=5cm L=20cm 1.4 mm hole in centre drilled and polished For 5 cm straight WLS-fibre RO cheep, for SiPM’s only more stress on fibre, fibre end reflector =tile reflector L=7.85cm clear RO fibres: l=1-3.5m to photo detector light attenuation <18% Scintillator: PS, ITEP/Vladimir: BASF-143, cast them in tiles, 40 m 2 Light yield for MIP’s (used for calibration): 18-25 ph.e. on photo-cathode

3. V. Korbel, DESY, CALICEMontpellier, France, 13-16 November 2003 3 Photo-detectors “Conventional” “Direct coupling” APD WLS & sensor 2 ways: SiPM see Boris, Erika’s talk: Si-PM’s (MEPHI/Pulsar): large quantities APD’s (Hamamatsu S8664-55spl) ~140/200 >1 x 1 mm 2 special new APD’s ordered > R&D prepared x x x

4. V. Korbel, DESY, CALICEMontpellier, France, 13-16 November 2003 4 Minical predecessor of Ppt E-beam, muons Aim of these studies: cosmic muons: different photodetectors LY improvements uniformity of response calibration with MIP’s long term ageing LED monitoring: stability dynamic range measurement e-beam, study of: energy resolution constant term

5. V. Korbel, DESY, CALICEMontpellier, France, 13-16 November 2003 5 Granularity for Ppt Strategy: Individual tile RO mostly Larger granularities (smaller tiles) in inner core Abandon smallest tiles in last sandwich layers (~1/3...1/4) Recover shower leakage in a tail catcher, scint. strip RO A lot of pad configurations studied by: V. Morgunov, A. Raspereza; DESY V. Zutshi; NIU to optimize: individual cluster separation shower overlap reconstruction energy resolution, software weighting include semi-digital and digital DigiCal studies (NICADD, NIU)

6. V. Korbel, DESY, CALICEMontpellier, France, 13-16 November 2003 6 Example: pad sizes increase x 2 3, 6 and 12 cm +/-0,79

7. V. Korbel, DESY, CALICEMontpellier, France, 13-16 November 2003 7 Optimal overlay geometry ? Only 3 sizes, modular: 3, 6 and 12 cm tiles: 98 x 98 cm 2 covered room for outside frame best in: overlay of events to jets all tiles to be produced in single press form

8. V. Korbel, DESY, CALICEMontpellier, France, 13-16 November 2003 8 Preamps Strategy: study several options, choose appropriate one prototypes in stud: for Si-PMs principally no preamp needed, or low gain (~10), PM-amplifier? but trigger delay needs longer pulse shaping fast preamp needed for calibration with single ph.e. peaks? for APDs voltage sensitive (Prague), large gain charge sensitive: 1. ECAL type for APD gain >200: 12 mV/7.2 fC 2. improved ECAL type, lower C in, larger gain designed at LAL <100: 12 mV/1.8 fC 3. MINSK/Gilitski preamp

16. V. Korbel, DESY, CALICEMontpellier, France, 13-16 November 2003 16 Some comments on the tail catcher Discussions during last Tile-HCAL main meeting: (NIU, DESY), today's status>>>: I. section, 20 sandwich layers with same segmentation, 2 cm Fe, 0.5 cm Scintillator 100 x 100 cm 2, Fe provided by DESY, sort out worst from 56: Strip RO, 10 or 12 cm wide strips Si-PM RO, from both sides ? 40 cm Fe, ~ 2.4 needs 320 Si-PMs (Si-PM’s on both sides, 12 cm strips) essential for Tile-HCAL stand alone tests Followed 1.8 of dead, coil like material Than coarser segmentation II. section: 5 layers, 10 cm Fe absorber, ~ 3 scintillator (1 cm thick), strip or pad RO needs more simulation studies (NIU- NICADD group) US could provide extruded scintillator with grooves, steel from FNAL
