Abstract
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 98 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
