Why Calorimeters ?✦ Sensitive to both charged and neutral particles

✦ Differences in the shower patterns ⇒ some particle identification is possible (h/e/µ/ν(missing ET) separation)

✦ Calorimetry based on statistical processes

✦ ⇒ σ(E)/E ∝ 1/√E

✦ Magnetic spectrometers ⇒ Δp/p ∝ p

✦ Increasing energy ⇒ calorimeter dimensions ∝ logE to contain showers

✦ Fast: response times < 100 ns feasible

✦ No magnetic field needed to measure E

✦ High segmentation possible ⇒ precise measurement of the direction of incoming particles

✦ In modern colliders, calorimeters form the heart and the soul of the experiments5

Page 6: Lectures on Calorimetry - Otranto 2016

The physics of shower development✦ Although calorimeters are intended to measure energy deposits at

the level of 109 eV and up, their performance is in practice determined by what happens at the MeV, keV and sometimes eV levels.

✦ Since showers initiated by hadrons, such as protons and pions are distinctly different (and in particular more complicated) than the electromagnetic (em) ones initiated by electrons or photons, we will start from the latter

Simple shower model✦ Consider only Bremsstrahlung and (symmetric) pair

production

✦ Assume X0 ∼ λpair

✦ After t X0:

✦ N(t) = 2t

✦ E(t)/particle = E0/2t

✦ Process continues until E(t)<Ec

✦ E(tmax) = E0/2tmax = Ec

✦ tmax = ln(E0/Ec)/ln2

✦ Nmax ≈ E0/Ec

Electromagnetic Showers✦ Differences between high-Z/low-Z materials

✦ Energy at which radiation becomes dominant

✦ Energy at which photoelectric effect becomes dominant

✦ Energy at which pair production becomes dominant

✦ Showers ⇒ Particle multiplication ⇒ little material needed to contain shower

✦ 100 GeV electrons: 90% of shower energy contained in 4 kg of lead

✦ Shower particle multiplicity reaches maximum at shower maximum

✦ Depth of shower maximum shifts logarithmically with energy

16

Page 17: Lectures on Calorimetry - Otranto 2016

Electromagnetic Showers✦ Scaling with X0 is not perfect

✦ In high-Z materials, particle multiplication continues longer and decreases more slowly than in low-Z materials

✦ EC ∝ Z-1

✦ The number of positrons strongly increases with the Z value of the absorber material

✦ Example: number of e+/GeV in Pb is 3 times larger than in Al

✦ Need more X0 of Pb to contain shower at 90% level

Electromagnetic shower leakage (longitudinal)

• The absorber thickness needed to contain a shower increases logarithmically with energy

• The number of extra X0 needed to fully contain the shower energy can be as much as 10 going from high Z to low Z absorbers

• More X0 needed to contain γ initiated showers

• The composition of em showers. Shown are the percentages of the energy of 10 GeV electromagnetic showers deposited through shower particles with energies below 1 MeV, below 4 MeV or above 20 MeV as function of the Z of the absorber material.

• Results of EGS4 simulations

Page 21: Lectures on Calorimetry - Otranto 2016

Electromagnetic Showers

✦ Phenomena at E < Ec determine important calorimeter properties✦ In lead > 40% of energy deposited by e± with E < 1

MeV✦ Only 1/4 deposited by e+, 3/4 by e- (Compton,

photoelectrons!)✦ The e+ are closer to the shower axis, Compton and

photoelectrons in halo

Page 23: Lectures on Calorimetry - Otranto 2016

Lessons for calorimetry✦ In absorption process, most of the energy is

deposited by very soft particles✦ Electromagnetic showers:

✦ 3/4 of the energy deposited by e-, 2/4 of it by Compton, photoelectrons

✦ These are isotropic, have forgotten direction of incoming particle ⇒ No need for sandwich geometry

✦ The typical shower particle is a 1 MeV electron, range < 1mm ⇒ important consequences for sampling calorimetry

23

Page 24: Lectures on Calorimetry - Otranto 2016

Hadronic showers development

24

Page 25: Lectures on Calorimetry - Otranto 2016

Hadron showers✦ Extra complication: the strong interaction✦ Much larger variety may occur both at the particle

level and at the level of the stuck nucleus✦ Production of other particles, mainly pions✦ Some of these particles (π0, η) develop electromagnetic

showers✦ Nuclear reactions: protons, neutrons released from

nuclei✦ Invisible energy (nuclear binding energy, target recoil)

25

Page 26: Lectures on Calorimetry - Otranto 2016

Hadron vs em showers✦ Hadron showers ⇒ much more complex than em

showers✦ Invisible energy

✦ em showers: all energy carried by incoming e or γ goes to ionization

✦ had showers: certain fraction of energy is fundamentally undetectable

✦ em showers✦ e± ⇒ continuous stream of events ( ionization + bremsstrahlung)✦ γ ⇒ can penetrate sizable amounts of material before losing

energy✦ had showers

✦ ionization (as a µ) then interaction with nuclei✦ development similar to em shower but different scale ( λ vs. X0)✦ Particle sector✦ Nuclear sector 26

Page 27: Lectures on Calorimetry - Otranto 2016

The electromagnetic fraction, fem✦ em decaying particles : π0, η0 ⇒ γ γ

✦ % of hadronic energy going to em fluctuates heavily✦ On average 1/3 of particles in first generation are π0s✦ π0s production by strongly interacting particles is an

irreversible process (a ”one-way street”)✦ Simple model

✦ after first generation fem = 1/3✦ after second generation fem = 1/3 + 1/3 of 2/3 = 5/9✦ after third generation fem = 1/3 + 1/3 of 2/3 + 1/3 of 4/9 = 19/27✦ after n generations fem = 1 - (1- 1/3)n

✦ the process stops when the available energy drops below the pion production threshold and n depends on the average multiplicity of mesons produced per interaction <m> ⇒ n increases by one unit every time E increases by a factor <m>

✦ fem increases with increasing incoming hadron energy

27

Page 28: Lectures on Calorimetry - Otranto 2016

The electromagnetic fraction, fem✦ But

✦ other particles than pions are produced (factor 1/3 wrong)✦ <m> is energy dependent✦ Barion number conservation neglected → lower fem in

proton induced showers than in pion induced ones✦ Using a more realistic model

✦ < fem > = 1- (E/E0)(k-1)

✦ E0= average energy needed to produce a π0

✦ (k-1) related to the average multiplicity✦ < fem > slightly Z dependent

✦ Consequences:✦ Signal of pion < signal of electron (non-compensation)✦ e/π signal ratio energy dependent (non-linearity)

Hadronic shower profiles

✦ Shower profiles are governed by the

✦ Nuclear interaction lenght, λint

✦ average distance a high-energy hadron has to travel inside a medium before a nuclear interaction occurs

✦ λint (g cm-2) ∝ A1/3

✦ Fe 16.8 cm, Cu 15.1 cm, Pb 17.0 cm, U 10.0 cm

For comparison X0 : Fe 1.76 cm, Cu 1.43 cm, Pb 0.56 cm, U 0.32 cm

Shower containment

✦ Shower containment:

✦ Depth to contain showers increases with log E

✦ Lateral leakage decreases as the energy goes up !✦ <fem> increases with energy ✦ Electromagnetic component concentrated in a narrow cone

around shower axis✦ ⇒ Energy fraction contained in a cylinder with a given

radius increases with energy

38

Hadronic shower leakage (longitudinal)

39

Page 40: Lectures on Calorimetry - Otranto 2016

Hadronic shower leakage (lateral)

✦ This energy dependence is a direct consequence of the energy of <fem>. The average energy fraction carried by the em shower component increases with energy and since this component is concentrated in a narrow cone around the shower axis, the energy fraction contained in a cylinder with a given radius increases with energy as well.

very soft particles✦ Electromagnetic showers:

✦ 3/4 of the energy deposited by e-, 2/4 of it by Compton, photoelectrons

✦ These are isotropic, have forgotten direction of incoming particle ⇒ No need for sandwich geometry

✦ The typical shower particle is a 1 MeV electron, range < 1mm ⇒ important consequences for sampling calorimetry

✦ Hadron showers:✦ Typical shower particles are a 50-100 MeV proton and a 3 MeV

evaporation neutron✦ Range of 100 MeV proton is 1 - 2 cm✦ Neutrons travel typically several cm✦ What they do depends critically on detail of the absorber

Energy loss by charged particles

✦ Main energy loss mechanism for charged particles traversing matter:

✦ Inelastic interaction with atomic electrons

✦ If the energy is sufficient to release atomic electrons from nuclear Coulomb field ⇒ ionization

✦ Other processes:

✦ Atomic excitation

✦ Production of Čerenkov light

✦ At high energy: production of δ-rays

✦ At high energy: bremsstrahlung

✦ At very high energy: nuclear reactions45

Interaction of photons✦ In order to be detected a photon has to create charged

particles and/or transfer energy to charged particles

✦ Photoelectric effect

✦ Most probable process at low energy

✦ P.e. effect releases mainly electrons from the K-shell

Scattering Compton ✦ For all but the high Z materials: most probable process for

γs in the range between few hundred keV and 5 MeV

✦ Typically at least 50% of the total energy is deposited by such γs in the absorption process of multi GeV e+, e- and γs

✦ Compton scattering is a very important process to understand the fine details of calorimetry

✦ Angular distribution of recoil electrons shows a substantial isotropic component. Many γs in the MeV range are absorbed by a sequence of Compton scatterings ⇒ most of the Compton electrons produced in this process are isotropically distributed

✦ Only possible in the field of a nucleus (or an electron) if✦ Eγ > 2mec2

✦ Cross-section (High energy approximation)

Page 54: Lectures on Calorimetry - Otranto 2016

✦ Lateral shower width scales with Molière radius ρM

✦ On average 90% of the shower energy is deposited in a cylinder with radius ρM around the shower axis

✦ ρM much less material dependent than X0

✦ Lateral shower width determined by:

✦ Multiple scattering of e± (early, 0.2 ρM)

✦ Compton γs traveling away from axis (1 - 1.5 ρM)

Electrons and positrons

✦ The number of positrons increases by more than a factor 3 going from Al to U

✦ Aluminum (∼18 e+/GeV)

✦ Uranium (∼60 e+/GeV)

✦ Increase due to the fact that particle multiplication in showers developing in high-Z absorber materials continues down to much lower energies than in low-Z materials 58

Page 59: Lectures on Calorimetry - Otranto 2016

Muons in calorimeters

✦ Muons are not minimum ionizing particles

✦ The effects of radiation are clearly visible in calorimeters, especially for high-energy muons in high-Z absorber material

Energy response and Compensation1

M. LivanThe Art of Calorimetry

Lecture II

Page 64: Lectures on Calorimetry - Otranto 2016

✦ Response = Average signal per unit of deposited energy, e.g. # photoelectrons/GeV, picoCoulombs/MeV, etc

✦ ➞ A linear calorimeter has a constant response

The Calorimeter Response Function

• Electromagnetic calorimeters are in general linear

• All energy deposited through ionization/excitation of absorber

• If not linear ⇒ instrumental effects (saturation, leakage,....)2

Page 65: Lectures on Calorimetry - Otranto 2016

Saturation in “digital” calorimeters✦ Gaseous detector operated in “digital” mode

✦ Geiger counters or streamer chambers✦ Intrinsically non linear:

✦ Each charged particle creates an insensitive region along the stuck wire preventing nearby particles to be registered

✦ Density of particles increases with increasing energy✦ ⇒ calorimeter response decreases with increasing

energy✦ Example:

✦ Calorimeter read out using wire chambers in “limited streamer” mode

✦ Energy varied by depositing n (n = 1-10) positrons of 17.5 GeV simultaneously in the calorimeter

✦ Energy deposit profile not energy dependent✦ Calorimeter longitudinally subdivided in 5 sections 3

Page 66: Lectures on Calorimetry - Otranto 2016

Saturation in “digital” calorimeters

✦ At n=6✦ Non linearity:

✦ 1 - 14.5 %✦ 2 - 14.8 %✦ 3 - 9.3 %✦ 4 - 2.4 %✦ 5 - 0.5 %

✦ Non-linearity in sect. 1 more than 6 times the one in sect. 4✦ Energy deposit in sect. 1 less than half of the one in sect. 4✦ Particle density in sect. 1 larger than in sect. 4 4

Page 67: Lectures on Calorimetry - Otranto 2016

Homogeneous calorimeters I✦ Homogeneous: absorber and active media are the same✦ Response to muons

✦ because of similarity between the energy deposit mechanism response to muons and em showers are equal

✦ ⇒ same calibration constant ⇒ e/mip=1✦ Response to hadrons

✦ Due to the invisible energy π/e < 1✦ e/mip =1 ⇒ π/mip < 1✦ Response to hadron showers smaller than the electromagnetic

one✦ Electromagnetic fraction (fem) energy dependent✦ ⇒ response to electromagnetic component increases with

energy ⇒ π/e increases with energy

5

Page 68: Lectures on Calorimetry - Otranto 2016

Homogeneous calorimeters II✦ Calorimeter response to non-em component (h)

energy independent ⇒ e/h > 1 (non compensating calorimeter)✦ e/π not a measure of the degree of non-compensation

✦ part of a pion induced shower is of em nature✦ fem increases with energy ⇒ e/π ⇒ tends to 1

✦ e/h cannot be measured directly (unless…..)

Homogeneous calorimeters III✦ Response to jets✦ Jet = collection of particles resulting from the fragmentation of

a quark, a diquark or a hard gluon✦ From the calorimetric point of view absorption of jets proceeds

in a way that is similar to absorption of single hadrons✦ (Minor) difference:

✦ em component for single hadrons are π0 produced in the calorimeter

✦ jets contain a number of π0 (γ from their decays) upon entering the calorimeter (“intrinsic em component”)

✦ <fem> for jets and single hadrons different and depending on the fragmentation process

✦ No general statement can be made about differences between response to single hadrons and jets but:

✦ response to jets smaller than to electrons or gammas✦ response to jets is energy dependent 9

Page 72: Lectures on Calorimetry - Otranto 2016

Sampling calorimeters✦ Sampling calorimeter: only part of shower energy

deposited in active medium✦ Sampling fraction fsamp

✦ fsamp is usually determined with a mip (dE/dx at minimum)✦ N.B. mip’s do not exist !✦ e.g. D0 (em section):

✦ 3 mm 238U (dE/dx = 61.5 MeV/layer)✦ 2 x 2.3 mm LAr (dE/dx = 9.8 MeV/layer)✦ fsamp = 13.7%

fsamp =energy deposited in active medium

total energy deposited in calorimeter

10

Page 73: Lectures on Calorimetry - Otranto 2016

The e/mip ratio✦ D0: fsamp = 13.7%

✦ However, for em showers, sampling fraction is only 8.2%✦ ⇒ e/mip ≈ 0.6

✦ e/mip is a function of shower depth, in U/LAr it decreases✦ e/mip increases when the sampling frequency becomes very

high✦ What is going on ?✦ Photoelectric effect: σ ∝ Z5, (18 / 92)5 = 3 · 10-4

✦ ⇒ Soft γs are very inefficiently sampled✦ Effects strongest at high Z, and late in the shower development✦ The range of the photoelectrons is typically < 1 mm✦ Only photoelectrons produced near the boundary between

active and passive material produce a signal✦ ⇒ if absorber layers are thin, they may contribute to the signals

✦ At high energy γ/mip ≈ e/mip✦ Below 1 MeV the efficiency for γ detection drops

spectacularly due to the onset of the photoelectric effect 12

Page 75: Lectures on Calorimetry - Otranto 2016

The e/mip ratio: dependence on sampling frequency

✦ Only photoelectrons produced in a very thin absorber layer near the boundary between active and passive materials are sampled

✦ Increasing the sampling frequency (thinner absorber plates) increases the total boundary surface 13

Page 76: Lectures on Calorimetry - Otranto 2016

Sampling calorimeters: the e/mip signal ratio

✦ e/mip larger for LAr (Z=18) than for scintillator✦ e/mip ratio determined by the difference in Z values

between active and passive media 14

Page 77: Lectures on Calorimetry - Otranto 2016

✦ The hadronic response is not constant✦ fem, and therefore e/π signal ratio is a function of energy✦ ➙ If calorimeter is linear for electrons, it is non-linear for

hadrons✦ Energy-independent way to characterize hadron calorimeters: e/h

✦ e = response to the em shower component✦ h = response to the non-em shower component✦ → Response to showers initiated by pions:

✦ e/h is inferred from e/π measured at several energies (fem values)✦ Calorimeters can be

✦ Undercompensating (e/h > 1)✦ Overcompensating (e/h < 1)✦ Compensating (e/h =1)

Compensation✦ In order to understand how compensation could be achieved, one

should understand in detail the response to the various types of particles that contribute to the calorimeter signals

✦ Energy deposition mechanisms that play a role in the absorption of the non-em shower energy:

✦ Ionization by charged pions (Relativistic shower component). The fraction of energy carried by these particles is called frel

✦ Ionization by spallation protons (non-relativistic shower component). The fraction of energy carried by these particles is called fp

✦ Kinetic energy carried by evaporation neutrons may be deposited in a variety of ways. The fraction of energy carried by these particles is called fn

✦ The energy used to release protons and neutrons from calorimeter nuclei, and the kinetic energy carried by recoil nuclei do not lead to a calorimeter signal. This energy represent the invisible fraction finv of the non-em shower energy

18

Page 81: Lectures on Calorimetry - Otranto 2016

Non-em calorimeter response✦ h can be written as follows:

✦ rel, p, n and inv denote the calorimeter responses✦ Normalizing to mips and eliminating the last term

✦ The e/h value can be determined once we know its response to the three components of the non-em shower components

✦ For compensation the response to neutron is crucial✦ Despite the fact that n carry typically not more than

~10% of the non-em energy, their contribution to the signal can be much larger than that

h = frel · rel + fp · p + fn · n + finv · inv

frel + fp + fn + finv = 1

e/mip

frel · rel/mip + fp · p/mip + fn · n/mip

Page 82: Lectures on Calorimetry - Otranto 2016

Compensation - The role of neutrons✦ Neutrons only loose their energy through the products of the

nuclear reactions they undergo✦ Most prominent at the low energies typical for hadronic shower

neutrons is the elastic scattering. ✦ In this process the transferred energy fraction is on average:

felastic = 2A/(A+1)2

✦ Hydrogen felastic = 0.5 Lead felastic = 0.005✦ Pb/H2 calorimeter structure (50/50)

✦ 1 MeV n deposits 98% in H2

✦ mip deposits 2.2% in H2

✦ Pb/H2 calorimeter structure (90/10)✦ Recoil protons can be measured!

✦ ⇒ Neutrons have an enormous potential to amplify hadronic shower signals, and thus compensate for losses in invisible energy

✦ Tune the e/h value through the sampling fraction!20

⇒ n/mip = 45⇒ n/mip = 350

Compensation: slow neutrons and the signal’s time structure

✦ Average time between elastic n-p collisions: 17 ns in polystyrene

✦ Measured value lower (10 ns) due to elastic or inelastic neutron scattering off other nuclei present in the calorimeter structure (Pb, C and O)

23

Compensation✦ All compensating calorimeters rely on the contribution of

neutrons to the signals✦ Ingredients for compensating calorimeters

✦ Sampling calorimeter✦ Hydrogenous active medium (recoil p!)✦ Precisely tuned sampling fraction

✦ e.g. 10% for U/scintillator, 3% for Pb/scintillator,…….✦ No way to get compensation in homogeneous calorimeters ✦ No way to get compensation in sampling calorimeters with

non hydrogenous active medium, e.g. LAr or Si

Fluctuations25

Page 88: Lectures on Calorimetry - Otranto 2016

Calorimetric measurement✦ Discussing calorimeter response we examined the average signals

produced during absorption

✦ To make a statement about the energy of a particle:

✦ relationship between measured signal and deposited energy (calibration)

✦ energy resolution (precision with which the unknown energy can be measured)

✦ Resolution is limited by:

✦ fluctuations in the processes through which the energy is degraded (unavoidable)

✦ ultimate limit to the energy resolution in em showers (worsened by detection techniques)

✦ not a limit for hadronic showers ? (clever readout techniques can allow to obtain resolutions better than the limits set by internal fluctuations

✦ technique chosen to measure the final products of the cascade process26

Page 89: Lectures on Calorimetry - Otranto 2016

Fluctuations (1)✦ Calorimeter’s energy resolution is determined by fluctuations✦ Many sources of fluctuations may play a role, for example:

✦ Signal quantum fluctuations (e.g. photoelectron statistics)

✦ Sampling fluctuations

✦ Shower leakage

✦ Instrumental effects (e.g. electronic noise, light attenuation, structural non-uniformity)

✦ but usually one source dominates

✦ Improve performance ⇒ work on that source

✦ Poissonian fluctuations (many, but not all):✦ Energy E gives N signal quanta, with σ = √N

✦ ⇒ σ√E ∝ √N√N = cE ⇒ σ/E=c/√E

27

Page 90: Lectures on Calorimetry - Otranto 2016

Fluctuations (2)

✦ Signal quantum fluctuations

✦ Ge detectors for nuclear γ ray spectroscopy: 1 eV/quantum

✦ ⇒ If E= 1 MeV: 106 quanta, therefore σ/E = 0.1%

✦ Usually E expressed in GeV ⇒ σ/E = 0.003%/√E

✦ Quartz fiber calorimeters: typical light yield ∼ 1 photoelectron/GeV

✦ Small fraction of energy lost in Čerenkov radiation, small fraction of the light trapped in the fiber, low quantum efficiency for UV light

✦ ⇒ σ/E = 100%/√E. If E = 100 GeV, σ/E = 10%

28

Page 91: Lectures on Calorimetry - Otranto 2016

Signal quantum fluctuations dominate

✦ Quartz window transmit a larger fraction of the Čerenkov light (UV component) 29

Page 92: Lectures on Calorimetry - Otranto 2016

Fluctuations (3)

✦ Sampling fluctuations✦ Determined by fluctuations in the number of

different shower particles contributing to signals

✦ Both sampling fraction and the sampling frequency are important

✦ Poissonian contribution : σsamp/E = asamp/√E

✦ ZEUS: No correlation between particles contributing to signals in neighboring sampling layers ⇒ range of shower particles is very small

Fluctuations (4)

✦ Shower leakage fluctuations

✦ These fluctuations are non-Poissonian

✦ For a given average containment, longitudinal fluctuations are larger that lateral ones

✦ Difference comes from # of particles responsible for leakage

✦ e.g. Differences between e, γ induced showers

32

Page 95: Lectures on Calorimetry - Otranto 2016

Contribution of leakage fluctuations to energy resolution

✦ Longitudinal shower fluctuations and therefore leakage are essentially driven by fluctuations in the starting point of the shower, i.e. by the behavior of one single shower particle.

✦ Lateral shower fluctuations generated by many particles33

✦ Structural differences in sampling fraction

✦ “Channelling” effects

✦ Electronic noise, light attenuation,.....

Fluctuations (6)

✦ Different effects have different energy dependence

✦ quantum, sampling fluctuations σ/E ∼ E-1/2

✦ shower leakage σ/E ∼ E-1/4

✦ electronic noise σ/E ∼ E-1

✦ structural non-uniformities σ/E = constant

Hadron showers: fluctuations in nuclear binding energy losses

✦ Distribution of nuclear binding energy loss that may occur in spallation reaction induced by protons with a kinetic energy of 1 GeV on 238U (more of 300 different reactions contributing)

✦ Note the strong correlation between the distribution of the binding energy loss and the distribution of the number of neutrons produced in the spallation reactions

✦ There may be also a strong correlation between the kinetic energy carried by these neutrons and the nuclear binding energy loss

38

Page 101: Lectures on Calorimetry - Otranto 2016

Hadron showers: Fluctuations in em shower fraction (fem)

Pion showersDue to the irreversibility of the production of π0s and because of the leading particle effect, there is an asymmetry between the probability that an anomalously large fraction of the energy goes into the em shower component

✦ Hadronic energy resolution of non-compensating calorimeters does not scale with E-1/2 and is often described by:

✦ Effects of non-compensation on σ/E is are better described by an energy dependent term:

Instrumental effects: channelling in fiber calorimeters

- Sampling fraction for em showers: 2%

- Electrons entering the calorimeter at 0º exactly at the position of a fiber loose very little energy in the early stages of the shower development and can cause longitudinal leakage

- Shower particles escaping from the back traverse a region where there is no more Pb, the fibers are bundled and the sampling fraction is almost 100%

The next Collider✦ Discussions about the post-LHC era have mainly

concentrated on a high-energy electron-positron collider with a center-of-mass energy that would allow this machine to become a factory for t-tbar and Higgs boson production.

✦ Both linear colliders (ILC, CLIC) and circular ones (FCC) are being considered in this context.

✦ A sufficiently large circular collider could additionally be used to further push the energy frontier for hadron collisions beyond the LHC limit

✦ Calorimetry R&D in the past 15 years has evolved looking forward to experiments at these machines.

Page 127: Lectures on Calorimetry - Otranto 2016

Calorimetry for the next Collider✦ An often mentioned design criterion for calorimeters at a

future e+e- collider is the need to distinguish between hadronically decaying W and Z bosons.

✦ The requirement that the di-jet masses of events are separable by at least one Rayleigh criterion implies that one should be able to detect 80 - 90 GeV jets with a resolution of 3 -3.5 GeV.

✦ This goal can be, and has been achieved for single hadrons but not for jets.

✦ Pros✦ Same energy scale for electrons, hadrons and jets. No ifs, ands or buts.

✦ Calibrate with electrons and you are done

✦ Excellent hadronic energy resolution (SPACAL 30%/√E)

✦ Linearity, Gaussian response function

✦ Compensation fully understood. (We know how to built these things, even though GEANT doesn’t)

✦ Cons✦ Small sampling fraction (2.4%in Pb/plastic) ⇒ em resolution limited (SPACAL:

13%/√E, ZEUS: 18%/√E)

✦ Compensation relies on detecting neutrons

✦ ⇒ Large integration volume

✦ ⇒ Long integration time (> 50 ns)

✦ Jet energy resolution not as good as for single hadrons in Pb, U calorimeters

Conclusions on DREAM✦ The DREAM approach combines the advantages of compensating calorimetry with

a reasonable amount of design flexibility

✦ The dominating factors that limited the hadronic resolution of compensating calorimeters (ZEUS; SPACAL) to 30 - 35%/√E can be eliminated

✦ The theoretical resolution limit for hadron calorimeters (15%/√E) seems within reach

✦ The DREAM project holds the promise of high-quality calorimetry for all types of particles, with an instrument that can be calibrated with electrons

✦ Open issues:

✦ Projective geometry

✦ Read-out

✦ Copper fabrication

✦ Better fibre quality (attenuation length)

25

Page 150: Lectures on Calorimetry - Otranto 2016

Particle Flow Analysis (PFA)✦ The basic idea: combine the information of the tracker and the

calorimeter system to determine the jet energy. Momenta of charged jet fragments are determined with the tracker, energies of the neutral jet fragments come from the calorimeter

✦ This principle has been used successfully to improve the performance of experiments with modest hadronic calorimetry. However, the improvements are fundamentally limited. In particular, no one ha sever come close to separating W/Z this way

✦ The problem: the calorimeters do not know that the charged fragments have already measured by the tracker: These fragments are also absorbed in the calorimeter. Confusion: Which part of the calorimeter signals comes from the neutral jet fragments ?

✦ Advocates of this method claim that a fine detector granularity will help solve this problem. Other believe it would only create more confusion. Like with all other issues in calorimetry, this issue has to settled by means of experiments, NOT by Monte Carlo simulations !

PFA: High Density + Fine Granularity✦ In order to reduce problems of shower overlap, PFA R&D focuses on

reducing the shower dimensions and decreasing the calorimeter cell size

On calibration problems and its non-solutions✦ Proposed PFA systems consist of millions of readout channels

(fine granularity)

✦ Question: how does one want to calibrate these calorimeters ?

✦ Answer (CALICE): DIGITAL calorimetry (energy ∝ # of channels that fired)

34

This was tried and abandoned in 1983, for good reasons: Particle density in the core of em showers is very high

⇒ Non linearity & Signal saturation

“Detailed simulation studies in the framework ofpreparing detector concepts for future electron positron linear colliders such as ILC and CLIC have shown that resolutions around 3.5%–4% can be realized for jet energies from 50 up to1500 GeV. Such a resolution was shown to provide a separation of W and Z bosons decaying into pairs of jets on the basis of the dijet invariant mass, as shown in Fig. 83.”

“It was suggested to directly test the jet energy performance in test beams by creating bundles of particles from a primary beam hadron impinging on a thin target. Leaving aside the differences in particle momenta and multiplicity, or energy density, between these “jets” and those generated in quark fragmentation at the same primary energy, such an experiment would have prohibitive cost, as simulation studies have shown (Morgunov, 2009). For particle flow reconstruction magnetic momentum spectroscopy and large acceptance are indispensable.Consequently the experimental strategy must be to validate the critical ingredients of particle flow calorimetry individually.”

Conclusions I✦ In the past 25 years calorimetry has become a mature art

✦ High quality energy measurements will be an important tool for collider experiments at the TeV scale

✦ There are no fundamental reasons why the four vectors of all elementary could not be measured with a precision of 1% or better at these energies

✦ However this goal is far from trivial, especially for the hadronic constituents of matter and unfortunately little guidance is provided by hadronic Montecarlo shower simulations in this respect.

✦ In the past 30 years, all progress in this domani has been achieved trough dedicated R&D projects

Conclusions II✦ Two major R&D efforts are underway to improve the quality of

hadronic energy measurements.

✦ R&D in the PFA framework is more concentrated on the technicalities of detector design, despite the fact that some fundamental questions about applicability of this concept ( e.g. calibration) are still not fully clarified.

✦ The potential of the PFA concept may be real, but will need to be experimentally demonstrated

✦ R&D on dual-readout (DREAM) project concentrates strongly on experimental tests of the validity of the principles on which improvements of hadronic calorimetry with little attention to a 4π detector design and simulations in general.

✦ Until now DREAM has been remarkably successful. It combines the advantages of compensating calorimetry with a reasonable amount of design flexibility, with an instrument that can be calibrated with electrons 41
