The Zero Degree Calorimeters for the ALICE Experiment

The Zero Degree Calorimeters (ZDC) for the ALICE experiment will measure the energy of the spectator nucleons in heavy ion collisions at the CERN LHC, providing a direct measure of the centrality of the collisions. ZDC are spaghetti calorimeters, w hich detect the Cherenkov light produced by the sho...

description The Zero Degree Calorimeters (ZDC) for the ALICE experiment will measure the energy of the spectator nucleons in heavy ion collisions at the CERN LHC, providing a direct measure of the centrality of the collisions. ZDC are spaghetti calorimeters, w hich detect the Cherenkov light produced by the shower particles in silica optical fibers embedded in a dense absorber. The main characteristics of the ZP and ZN detectors are described in this article. The calorimeters were tested at the CERN SPS using p ion and electron beams with momenta ranging from 50 to Click to view the MathML source. Test beam results such as the calorimeter response, the energy resolution, the signal uniformity and the localizing capability are presented.
