Dm. Khazins et al., A HIGH-PRESSURE GAS-IONIZATION TUBE CALORIMETER FOR FORWARD DETECTORS, Nuclear instruments & methods in physics research. Section A, Accelerators, spectrometers, detectors and associated equipment, 333(2-3), 1993, pp. 372-380
A calorimeter design based on high-pressure gas-ionization tubes arran
ged nearly parallel to the incident particle direction is described. E
nergy, time, and position resolutions of such a calorimeter, as well a
s its radiation hardness and electronic noise, are discussed. Resultin
g characteristics meet the needs of the forward calorimetry for SSC an
d LHC collider experiments, and seem promising for application in othe
r, more central parts of these experiments.
