LHC Luminosity Workshop December 9, 2002 Gregory Snow (University of Nebraska) 8 HF HAD (143 cm) EM (165 cm) 5mm To cope with high radiation levels (>1 Grad accumulated in 10 years) the active part is Quartz fibers: the energy measured through the Cerenkov light generated by shower particles. This is the cause of two of the peculiar features of this calorimeter: The visible energy is carried by relativistic particles, i.e. electrons: the calorimeter is sensitive to the EM component (  0 ) of the hadronic shower. Shower size depends on Moliere radius not i The light is generated preferentially at 45 degrees: light propagation is far from ‘usual’ meridian one. Iron calorimeter Covers 5 >  > 3 Total of 1728 towers, i.e. 2 x 432 towers for EM and HAD  x  segmentation (0.175 x 0.175) HF is fast and transverse shower size is small

LHC Luminosity Workshop December 9, 2002 Gregory Snow (University of Nebraska) 27 Counting Z’s Improved theoretical cross section calculations for Z  l + l - are approaching the precision needed to use inclusive Z production as an absolute luminosity monitor V. Khoze et al. [Eur. Phys. J. C19, (2001)] predict  BR(Z  e + e - or  +  - ) = 1.85 nb at 14 TeV with an accuracy of  4% (NNLO, input parton distributions,  s, splitting functions, …) Other theorists predict uncertainty to shrink to  1-2% by LHC turn-on Experimental advantage to monitor both Z  e + e - and Z   +  - (Different systematic uncertainties involved) Given 30 hour luminosity lifetime and nominal 20-hour run, how well can we do, statistically, in a day’s run at LHC design luminosity?

LHC Luminosity Workshop December 9, 2002 Gregory Snow (University of Nebraska) 28 Counting Z’s Inclusive rate of Z   +  - at L = 1  cm -2 s -1 is 18.5 Hz Assume 50% recovered (acceptance |  |< 2.0, trigger efficiency, …) for monitoring 20 hour run (L = 5  by the end) yields 540,000 Z   +  - Negligible statistical uncertainty for full run Every 2.5 minutes, 1000 Z’s yield 3% statistical uncertainty Statistics not sufficient for bunch-by-bunch monitoring over full run (Only 200 Z’s per bunch crossing over full run) BUT, “monitoring” bandwidth may be restricted to 1-2 Hz out of 100 Hz Full run yields 144,000 Z’s divided into  +  - and e + e - 15 minutes to accumulate 1000 Z’s in each channel for 3% uncertainty Ongoing CMS study of evolution of trigger and reconstruction efficiencies over a wide range of pile-up events/luminosity values
