(a) Secondary Emission Sensor Modules for Calorimeters Basic Idea: A Dynode Stack is an Efficient High Gain Radiation Sensor -High Gain & Efficient (yield ~1 e/mip for CsSb coating) -Compact (micromachined metal<1mm thick/stage) -Rad-Hard (PMT dynodes>100 GRads) -Fast -Simple SEM monitors proven at accelerators -Rugged/Could be structural elements (see below) -Easily integrated compactly into large calorimeters low dead areas or services needed. SE Detector Modules Are Applicable to: - Energy-Flow Calorimeters - Polarimeters - Forward Calorimeters

(a) Secondary Emission Sensor Modules for Calorimeters Basic SEM Calorimeter Sensor Module Form: “A Flat PMT without a Photocathode”: -The photocathode is replaced by an SEM film on Metal. -Stack of 5-10 metal sheet dynodes in a metal “window”-ceramic wall vacuum package about 5-10 mm thick x 10-25 cm square, adjustable in shape/area to the transverse shower size. -Sheet dynodes/insulators made with MEMS/micromachining techniques are newly available, in thicknesses as fine as ~0.1 mm/dynode -Ceramic wall thickness can be ~2mm, moulded and fired from commonly available greenforms (Coors, etc.) -Outer electrodes (SEM cathode, anode) can be thick metal, serving as absorber and structural elements.

b) Cerenkov Compensation Precis Basic Idea: Cerenkov Light is most sensitive to electrons (photons) Ionization sensitive to neutrons, hadrons, electrons Use these 2 measurements to correct calorimeter energy – stochastic & constant terms - Detect both Cerenkov Signal Ec and Ionization Ei on the same shower. - For pure e-m showers, normalize the detected energies so that Ei = Ec = Eem. - For hadrons, only when only 0 are produced does Eh ~ Ei ~ Ec. - As Eh fluctuates more into n, +-, etc., Ec decreases faster than Ei. - On an Ec vs Ei scatter plot, the fluctuation is correlated/described by a straight line with slope a<1, from which the constant is defined by a = /(1+ ). - The Ec vs Ei correlation yields an estimate of the compensated E as: Ecomps = Ei + (Ei-Ec), where the constant is different for each calorimeter material/design. For electrons, Ecomps = Ei = Ec, since (Ei-Ec) = 0 - No “suppression” needed for compensation, thus more active material can be used, up to 100%, thus reducing the stochastic term. - Two independent measurements enable tuning the constant term to near zero.

Cerenkov Compensation MC Results GEANT MC Checked by reproducing data: - pions in Lscint (10% stochastic, 10% constant term, FNAL E1A) - pions in PbGlass (35% stochastic, 10% constant – Serpekov) - e in PbGlass (5% stochastic) - e in Cu/Quartz fibers(1.5%) (80% stochastic, 1% constant – CMS) Infinite media (LAr, Lscint, BaF2, NaI(Tl)), counting detected ionization and Cerenkov light yields (filters for scintillators): E/E ~ [11%-16%] E -1/2, with constant terms <1%. Model Cu absorber Sampling Fiber Calorimeter 15% 0.8 mm clear fibers, 35% 0.8 mm scintillating fibers: - E/E ~ 18-20% E -1/2, with a constant term <0.5%.

Potential Applications in NLC Compensating E-M & Hadron Calorimeters - CMS experience: combined crystal em + compensated hadron Calorimeter: hadrons E/E ~ 90-100%E -1/2 + 3-4% - unacceptable for NLC performance. -To correct a crystal em+hadron system, Add a 2 nd wavelength filtered Cerenkov photodetector to each crystal to compensate the crystal e-m calorimeter. Combined em+hadron Resolution should reach resolution of compensated hadron alone. -To correct any highly non-compensated em calorimeter, add some Cerenkov (or electron-sensitive) detector. High Precision Sampling Hadron Calorimeter - MC indicates that E/E ~ 20%E -1/2 + <1% practical - Energy-Flow possible with Clear & Scintillating “bricks” read-out with WLS fibers, similar to ATLAS, CMS schemes.
