1. Electromagnetic Calorimeter for HADES at SIS100 Pavel Tlustý, NPI Řež Motivation Plans Current status Tests Outlook HADES Collaboration Meeting, Sesimbra, May 5-10, 2009 May 8, 2009 Involved groups: Jag. University Krakow INR Moscow NPI Rez …… ?

2. Motivation - measurements of the respective  º and η meson two gamma decay yields together with the dielectron data for the knowledge of dielectron coctail and normalization at incident heavy ion energies 2-8 AGeV - better electron/pion suppression for large momenta (p>400 MeV/c) as compared to the present situation (at lower momenta the electron/hadron identification will be provided by the RICH and RPC)

3. Motivation Eur. Phys. J. C 4, 231-247 (1998) Eur. Phys. J. C 4, 249-257 (1998)

4. Side View START HADES & EMC RPC EMC The total area required for a HADES calorimeter amounts to about 8m 2 !! ElectroMagnetic Calorimeter (EMC) will replace the HADES Pre-Shower detector (18º< Θ< 45º).

5. Detector modules Our proposal is to use lead glass modules from OPAL end cap calorimeter. ~ 900 modules needed, at present (April 2009) 1080 modules moved to GSI. Energy resolution ~ 5%/sqrt(E), E in GeV Lead glass properties: - type: CEREN 25 - chemical composition (SiO2 -39%,PbO – 55%, K2 - 2%, Na20 – 3%) - density: 4.o6 g/cm3 - radiation length (X0): 2.51 cm - refractive index: 1.708 (at 400 nm) Nucl. Instr. Meth. A290, 76 (1990) Moduledimensions: 42 x 9 x 9 cm
