R. Arnaldi et al., QUARTZ FIBER ZDCS AT CERN SPS AND LHC, Nuclear instruments & methods in physics research. Section A, Accelerators, spectrometers, detectors and associated equipment, 409(1-3), 1998, pp. 608-610
A quartz fiber zero degree calorimeter (ZDC) is operating in the NA50
experiment at CERN SPS since its first lead ion run in November 1994.
This unusually small detector (5 x 5 x 65 cm(3)) is a spaghetti calori
meter with quartz optical fibers embedded in tantalum slabs. The ZDC p
erformances are presented with special emphasis on the 1996 lead ion r
un results. The plans for ALICE ZDCs at LHC are also presented. (C) 19
