July 15, 2003Jae Yu: UTA GEM DHCAL ALCW, Cornell 2 Introduction DHCAL a solution for keeping the cost manageable for EFA Finer cell sizes are needed for effective calorimeter cluster association with tracks and subsequent energy subtraction UTA Has been working on DHCAL using GEM for –Flexible geometrical design, using printed circuit readout –Cell sizes can be as fine a readout as GEM tracking chamber!! –High gains, above 10 3~4,with spark probabilities per incident  less than –Fast response 40ns drift time for 3mm gap with ArCO 2 –Relatively low HV A few 100V per each GEM gap –Reasonable cost Foils are basically copper-clad kapton ~$400 for a specially prepared and framed 10cmx10cm foil
