1 1 The Electromagnetic Calorimeter of the HERA-B Experiment B.Giacobbe a a I.N.F.N Bologna, Via Irnerio 46, Bologna, Italy At the end of the HERA-B data taking, an overview of the experiment s Electromagnetic Calorimeter (ECAL) is given and its performances are shown to be close to design specifications. The detector s readout (RO) and pretrigger (EPT) systems are also described and some significative acquired physical signals are shown in order to discuss the system s ability to perform the foreseen physics program. Emphasis is put on some innovative particle identification techniques applied both at trigger and reconstruction level, such as the electron Bremsstrahlung recovery, and to the calibration procedure. The success of the EPT project is underlined as its philosophy was applied to the LHCb detector which is at present under construction. 1. ECAL and its readout and pretrigger systems. HERA-B is a fixed target spectrometer, running at the 920 GeV HERA proton beam at DESY, designed in order to cover a wide range of topics from b and c quark physics to QCD studies. The proton interactions on wire targets made of different materials (C,Al,Ti,Pd,W) produce a large hadronic background up to 6 orders of magnitude higher than the channels to be studied imposing thus stringent requirements on the efficiency and selectivity of the detectors and trigger systems. Moreover the 10 M Hz bunch crossing rate of the accelerator force detectors, readout and trigger systems to be fast and almost deadtimeless. Finally the large average number of particles produced in each interaction imposes a high detector s granularity in order to keep the occupancy at reasonable levels (below 10 %) allowing also to manage multiple interaction events (by adjusting the position of the wire targets it is possible to change the average interaction multiplicity per bunch crossing). The ECAL design as well as its readout and pretrigger electronics structures were thus decided in order to fulfill all the above requirements. A description of the HERA-B experiment can be found in [1]. ECAL is a sampling calorimeter located at about 13 m downstream the target, of about 625x470 cm 2 lateral dimension, covering a region between about 10 to 250 mrad ( 1.8 < η < 1.5). It is composed of 2344 towers (modules) each employing the technology of sampling plastic scintillator/absorber sandwich read out by plastic wavelength shifter (WLS) fibers running perpendicular to the plates perforated for this purpose (Shashlik technology). The light collected by the WLS is then sent to the readout photomultipliers (PM). This design was chosen as it provides an economic solution for large size calorimeters ensuring, at the same time, good energy/spatial resolution and uniformity of response. Moreover adequate signal time characteristics and ease of precise calibration can be obtained. Three ECAL sections can be distinguished from the beam line outwards - INNER, MIDDLE and OUTER - having different granularities in order to take into account the different particle flux as a function of the distance from the beam. This ensures a rather constant occupancy, below 10 %, thus minimizing the overlap of different clusters in the hot central regions. In the OUTER section one module (11.18 x cm) corresponds to one readout channel while in the MIDDLE/INNER parts modules are subdivided in 2x2/5x5 channels separated by thin reflecting paper sheets. In Table 1 the main construction parameters are reported for the three sections. In particular the differences in terms of absorber materials, overall radiation length, PM types and total light yield between the three ECAL sections have to be noted as main parameters tuned in order to meet the requirements imposed by the character-

A detailed description of the ECAL readout and pretrigger systems can be found in [2][3]. We just remind here the main operations they have to perform. The ECAL RO is designed in order to: i) digitize PMs analog signals; ii) store digitized signals into pipelines; iii) communicate with the HERA-B control system; iv) readout the pipelines and send data to the HERA-B DAQ; v) send calibrated data to the EPT; vi) perform internal tests and diagnostic. The EPT main tasks are: i) identify high E T eletron candidates; ii) calculate their energy and position; iii) address the regions of interest (RoI) in the main tracker where the First Level Trigger will search for the electron tracks; iv) searchfor possible electron Bremsstrahlung (BR) clusters and recover the BR energy for a better determination of the electron momentum, crucial for a precise determination of the RoIs. A description of the BR recovery feature, both at trigger and reconstruction level will follow. During the physics data taking, the EPT operated smoothly and provided a stable trigger to the whole experiment, allowing to acquire important statistics of charmonium particles, and was also used as a dedicated trigger on high E T γ, π 0 and η. 2. ECAL performances The analysis of the ECAL performances is ongoing using the large amount of data acquired during the physics runs of the years Large samples of signals such as π 0, η and J/ψ were acquired and preliminary results on energy and spatial resolution as well as light yield uniformity and stability were obtained. Measured resolutions are reported in Table 2. In Figure 1 position resolution (a) and b)) and light yield uniformity (c) and d)) as a function of the impact point distance from the center of the cell are shown for the INNER and MIDDLE sections. Non uniformity was measured to be to be below 10% for all ECAL sections and is automatically corrected in the cluster reconstruction improving by about 20% the resolutions on the π 0 and η signals. 3. Calibration and Particle Identification with ECAL The ECAL calibration is crucial for the correct reconstruction of the signals as well as for a proper triggering on electrons, as the EPT manages already calibrated energy information. A multiple step procedure is then performed including equalization and pre-calibration of each channel, using minimum bias data and Monte Carlo simulation, minimum ionizing particle ob-

Light yield non uniformity (c and d). servation (for the less crowded ECAL regions), E/P measurement for electrons from γ conversion, and, finally, an absolute calibration using π 0 s from dedicated high statistics runs. With such calibration on physical signals a final precision of 2% is achieved, after an iterative procedure whose details can be found in [4]. An original feature which was used both for reconstruction and at pretrigger level was the identification and recovery of the energy lost by electrons due to BR emission in the material in front of the ECAL. If such emission happens before the magnet region, the distance, in the bending plane, between the electron and the BR γ is 1/E e, being E e the electron energy measured by ECAL. In Figure 2 a) the concept of the procedure for the BR recovery is shown. As hadrons do not emit BR γ, the procedure allows a powerful electron tag and hadron rejection, while the recovery of the BR energy loss allows a correction of the electron momentum, improving the resolution on the signals. In Figure 2 b) and c) the di-electron mass spectrum is shown without any BR requirement (a) and with the requirement that a BR cluster is found for at least one of the two electrons. As can be seen, the J/ψ signal is decreased by a factor 2 but the signal over background ratio improves by a factor Physics with ECAL ECAL played a crucial role in the HERA-B physics program. Apart from providing the dilepton trigger for the whole experiment (together with the muon system), its signals are used for all the studies concerning electron and gamma identification and reconstruction. These include: i) charmonium studies as J/ψ, ψ(2s) and χ c production, polarization and differential distributions; ii) nuclear effects evaluation in J/ψ production (A-dependence); iii) open and hidden (Υ) b- quark production cross section measurements; iv) direct γ, π 0 and η production in pn interactions; v) open charm production; vi) ρ/ω/φ e + e Branching Ratio determination.

Di-electron mass spectra with no (b) and single (c) electron BR tag. and c) the different states observable in the e + e invariant mass spectrum are shown with the dominant J/ψ signal ( events on 60% of the total statistics) having a width of 55 MeV. In Figure 3 a) the detached J/ψ signal due to b-quark decay in the process pn b bx J/ψXY is shown, for about 60% of the total electron statistics, with 40±8 events. This signal will allow the up-to-now most precise determination of the b b production cross section at fixed target. In Figure 3 b) the differential distribution, as a function of E T, of directly produced γ in hadronic interactions is shown: this process is of particular interest for perturbative QCD precision tests free from hadronization effects. 5. Conclusions During the year 2003 data taking, HERA-B collected several hundred million events, both with di-lepton trigger, Minimum Bias and dedicated triggers, a major contribution being given by the Electromagnetic Calorimeter. The ECAL and its readout and pretrigger systems operated smoothly with performances close to the design specifications, while the detector s information is of primary importance in a large variety of physics topics under analysis. These include charmonium studies, b-quark production measurements, perturbative QCD tests, branching ratio determinations, etc. The operational principle of the EPT was considered for the LHC-B 0-level electromagnetic trigger and proved to be suitable for the LHC environment and the experiment s needs. The present design of such trigger system is then based on a simplified version of the HERA-B one [5] [6]; on the other hand a more complicated scheme is foreseen in the coupling of its information with the ones coming from the HCAL, Preshower and PAD chambers, needed for an online particle identification.
