2 Scintillation Detectors Phenomenon of scintillation known since long. Extensive use only after invention of photomultiplier in 944. Since then significant development of this technology. Advantage for detection of particles and photons: light guide simplicity and robustness signal speed high density large signals good time and energy measurement Now also scintillating fibres available position resolution as well There are different mechanisms in: anorganic crystals organic substances scintillator photo detector Example: Sodium-Iodide NaI insulator with bandgap of 7eV replace 0.% of sodium atoms with socalled activators: thallium atoms - shift of light energy into visible regime: (advantageous for detection via photo cathode) - enhanced light yield - reduced re-absorption exciton creation by charged particles Inorganic Crystals excitons move in crystal until they reach activator energy release by photon emission (3eV λ 400nm) energy for this wavelength the material is transparent conduction band exciton band activator states 3eV valence band exciton electron 7eV hole electron traps decay time τ 230 ns carsten.niebuhr@desy.de 5 Particle Detectors 3 carsten.niebuhr@desy.de 6 Particle Detectors 3 Mechanism Excited vibrational modes of molecules de-excite by emission of UV light. This UV light is then transformed into visible light by so called wave length shifters that are added to the material. Organic Scintillators Comparison Organic vs Inorganic Scintillators Inorganic Organic Mono crystals - Napthalen (C 0 H 8 ) - Anthrazen (C 0 H 0 ) - p-terphenyl (C 58 H 4 ) Liquid- and plastic- scintillators consist of organic substance (polystyrol) plus scint. molecules ( %) in addition: secondary fluor compounds as wavelength shifters Inorganic crystals well suited for calorimetric applications (high light yield and small radiation length) Plastic scintillators fast particle registration (trigger) carsten.niebuhr@desy.de 7 Particle Detectors 3 carsten.niebuhr@desy.de 8 Particle Detectors 3

6 Intermediate Summary Scintillators inorganic crystals (NaI, CsI, BGO, PbWO 4,...) - energy loss by ionisation transfer to luminiscent centers radiate photons - high light yield, small radiation length calorimeters organic (polystyrene, polyvinyltoluene,...) - molecules get excited energy released as optical photons Fluors act as wavelength shifter - lower light yield, but faster signals trigger counters Why do we need Calorimeters? Recall: for tracking in magnetic field we have σ( p T ) p T p T L 2 momentum (energy) measurement degrades linearly with increasing energy size of detector L E only detection of charged particles σ/e hadr. calorimeter tracker Conversion of Scintillation Light photo multiplier solid-state photon detectors (APD, HPD, SiPM,...) Energy loss processes other than ionisation (used for particle identification) Cherenkov radiation - threshold effect β thr = n, if particle moves faster than light in medium; but small light yield Transition radiation - fast particles radiate if they cross boundaries sensitivity to γ ; but small light yield In contrast (as we will see) for calorimeters: σ( E) detection of - photons - neutral hadrons for high energy detectors calorimeters are indispensable components elmag.. calo.

Alternating sequence leads to shower which stops if energy of particles < E c.

Two possibilities: hardware compensation - careful choice of absorber & active material and their thickness - increase ε had : Uranium [neutrons and soft γ: fission] or increase neutron eff. w/ hydrogenous comp. - decrease ε em : reduce sensitivity to low-energy γ by using high Z absorber and low Z detector - example: ZEUS calorimeter: Uranium (depleted) / scintillator [3.3/2.6 mm] software compensation - if readout granularity of detector is sufficiently high one can distinguish between electromagnetic and hadronic component and correct by software weighting - example: H calorimeter: liquid argon (LAr) with steel [ cells] due to the large intrinsic fluctuations hadronic calorimeters in general have worse resolution compared to electromagnetic calorimeters typical values: σ( E) % carsten.niebuhr@desy.de 35 Particle Detectors 3 Examples for Calorimeters Experiment Kind Absorber Active material Resolution Type ZEUS em Uranium Scintillator 8% / E sampling ZEUS had Uranium Scintillator 35% / E sampling H em Pb LAr 2% / E sampling H had Steel LAr 50% / E sampling H SpaCal em Pb Scintill.
