  2. PHOS China - ALICE meeting

  3. Rails for PHOS China - ALICE meeting

  4. What is PHOS ? • PHOS is a photon spectrometer consisting of • A high resolution, highly granular EM calorimeter • Associated to a MWPC acting as a charge particle veto detector, • … offering unique particle detection • With high energy resolution (~ 1.5% @ 10 GeV) • And high position resolution (~ 1.25mm @10 GeV) • And particle identification from very low (0.5 GeV) to fairly high (100 GeV) transverse momentum: • Direct photon • Decay photon • Electrons • Charged hadrons • Neutral hadrons (p0 and h) • Neutral baryons (n and n) China - ALICE meeting

  5. Position resolution Energy resolution • a = 0.013 ± 0.007 GeV • b = 0.036 ± 0.002 GeV1/2 • c = 0.0112 ± 0.0003 Detection with PHOS China - ALICE meeting

  6. Identification with PHOS 1/3 • Photons Shower topology Efficiency 90% Purity 5% China - ALICE meeting

  7. p0 h Invariant mass Identification with PHOS 2/3 • Soft neutral hadrons (pt < 20 GeV/c) China - ALICE meeting

  8. Identification with PHOS 3/3 • Hard direct photon (pt > 20 GeV/c) Shower topology & isolation cut China - ALICE meeting

  9. PHOS provides access to an unique scientific program • Dynamical characterization of the medium by its radiation spectrum: • Early hard QCD processes: initial state structure (hard photons and neutral hadrons @ pt 20-100 GeV/c) • Hot partonic phase (Quark-Gluon Plasma) • Thermal EM radiation (black body, photons @ pt < 2 GeV) • Medium effects on jets (jet quenching, p0 @ pt > 10 GeV/c, jet photon tagging) • Late hadronic phase (soft photons and neutral hadrons) • To study soft QCD effects and medium effects • Hadrons gas – partons gas phase transition • Chiral symmetry restoration • Gluon saturation China - ALICE meeting

  10. Photon production @ LHC Decay photons Prompt photons China - ALICE meeting

  11. PHOS hardware • Elementary detection cell • PWO4 crystal: 22  22180 mm3 (20 X0) • Photo-readout: Avalanche Photo-Diodes (APD) • Modular structure • 17920 lead-tungstate crystals (PWO) • 5 independent modules each of 3584 crystal detector units: • Total area: 8m2 • Total crystal weight: 12.5t China - ALICE meeting

  12. PHOS FE & RO electronics • A challenging project: convert weak light signal into energy and time signals and construct trigger signals. • Energy • Dual gain energy channels and digitization for covering a very large dynamic range up to ~100 GeV • Separate fast energy signal for trigger and timing • Time • Resolution ~2 ns to discriminate against low energy baryons • Trigger • L0 (< 900 ns) for min-bias pp, low threshold (100 MeV) • L1 (< 6.2 ms) for high pT Pb-Pb, high threshold (5-10 GeV) China - ALICE meeting
