Performance of the Electromagnetic Pixel Calorimeter Prototype EPICAL-2
The first evaluation of an ultra-high granularity digital electromagnetic calorimeter prototype using 1.0–5.8 GeV/c electrons is presented. The 25 × 10$^{6}$ pixel detector consists of 24 layers of ALPIDE CMOS MAPS sensors, with a pitch of around 30 μm, and has a depth of almost 20 radiation len...

Sumario: | The first evaluation of an ultra-high granularity digital
electromagnetic calorimeter prototype using 1.0–5.8 GeV/c electrons
is presented. The 25 × 10$^{6}$ pixel detector consists of 24
layers of ALPIDE CMOS MAPS sensors, with a pitch of around
30 μm, and has a depth of almost 20 radiation lengths of
tungsten absorber. Ultra-thin cables allow for a very compact
design.
The properties that are critical for physics studies are measured:
electromagnetic shower response, energy resolution and linearity.
The stochastic energy resolution is comparable with the state-of-the
art resolution for a Si-W calorimeter, with data described well by a
simulation model using Geant4 and Allpix$^{2}$. The
performance achieved makes this technology a good candidate for use
in the ALICE FoCal upgrade, and in general demonstrates the strong
potential for future applications in high-energy physics. |
