  1. ECAL Studies Jacopo Nardulli

  2. Why the ECAL is as it is ? • The LOI ILD Ecal structuring comes from an old optimization from H. Videau available here ECAL Optimization from H. Videau • He considers a few scenarios with different nr of layers and different absorber thickness • Similar studies have now also been done by a LLR PhD student M.S.Amjad and have been presented at the CALICE Meeting in Casablanca

  3. Two possible studies • Keep same radiation length: ECAL with less layers • Less expensive, energy resolution can be worse, as the pattern recognition • Varying nr of layers and absorber thickness, not the Si thickness • Change the radiation length: ECAL with less layers • Less expensive, overall performance changes • If I change the X0, can have more leakage into the HCAL which could be fixed with a combined ECAL/HCAL analysis • Varying nr of layers, absorber thickness and studying performance as a function of the X0 similar to what Angela has done for HCAL.

  4. Now only first study: Different ECAL models • Altering the number of layers and their absorber thickness in such a way that Total Absorber thickness in the detector remains the same. • The analyses included in this talk were done with Single Photon with θ and φ varying in the full range and Energies of 1, 10, 100 and 500 GeV • Default model 20 layers in 1st stack and 9 layers in 2nd stack

  5. Disclaimers • Here showing the Energy Resolution vs. the Energy but to get the energy resolution I am not using the official MarlinProcessor which does that –rms90 and mean90- but single Gaussian fits. • So do not look at absolute numbers, but at the general trend of the plots • THIS IS WORK IN PROGRESS: Not all plots are fully understood

  6. Results: changing nr layers in 1st stack Energy Res. vs Input Energy • Energy resolution degrades for low energy • We fail to get all the energy and the mean is much lower than the input Energy •  Need to use different calibration constants 278 55 5.5 Mean Rec. Energy vs Input Energy

  7. Results: changing nr layers in 2nd stack Energy Res. vs Input Energy • Energy resolution degrades, while we have lower degradation in the rec. of all the energy in the event • Changing 2nd stack affects high energy photons which deposit more energy 420 89 9.5 Mean Rec. Energy vs Input Energy

  8. Results: changing nr layers in 1st and 2nd stack Energy Res. vs Input Energy 360 81 8.6 Mean Rec. Energy vs Input Energy

  9. Spares • All same plots in barrel and forward region

  10. Barrel Results: changing nr layers in 1st stack

  11. Barrel Results: changing nr layers in 2nd stack

  12. Barrel Results: nr layers in 1st and 2nd stack

  13. Forward Results: changing nr layers in 1st stack

  14. Forward Results: changing nr layers in 2nd stack

  15. Forward Results: nr layers in 1st and 2nd stack
