Descripción
Sumario:Due to an expected increase in radiation damage under SuperLHC conditions, we propose to substitute the scintillator tiles in the original design of the HE Calorimeter with quartz plates. Quartz is shown to be radiation hard. Using wavelenght shifting fibers, it is possible to collect efficiently the Cerenkov light generated in quartz plates. This note summarizes the results from various test beams, bench tests, and Geant4 simulations done on methods of collecting light from quartz plates, as well as radiation hardness tests on quartz material.
