Performance of the Upgraded LHCf Calorimeter with Gd$_2$SiO$_5$ (GSO) Scintillators Tested by Accelerator Beams

LHCf has reported energy spectra of forward photons and neutral pions at \(\sqrt{s} = 900\) GeV and 7 TeV proton-proton collisions measured at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Because the next operation in 2015 is expected under much higher radiation dose, we are upgrading the detectors, especially...

description LHCf has reported energy spectra of forward photons and neutral pions at \(\sqrt{s} = 900\) GeV and 7 TeV proton-proton collisions measured at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Because the next operation in 2015 is expected under much higher radiation dose, we are upgrading the detectors, especially their scintillators, to be radiation harder. We report the results from the beam tests performed at the Heavy Ion Medical Accelerator in Chiba (HIMAC) in Japan for the basic properties of new sensors. We have confirmed that the new sensors meet our requirements at this stage.
