Detector subsystems

Target - unchanged Start Counter - updated Central Drift Chamber - updated Forward Drift Chamber - updated Barrel Calorimeter - updated Upstream Calorimeter/Veto – removed Gas Cerenkov - updated Time-of-Flight counter - unchanged Forward Calorimeter - unchanged Solenoid / magnetic field – updates in progress

Target- unchanged

liquid hydrogen volume diameter 3 cm length 30 cm kapton walls 150 m thick

vacuum chamber walls 1 cm of high-density (0.11 g/cm3) ROHACELL exterior diameter 8 cm

vacuum entrance, exit windows 70 m of aluminum

GlueX collaboration meeting, Newport News, January 10-12, 2008 4

Start Counter - updated

layer structure high density ROHACELL r=6.95 - 7.48 cm scintillator 2.15 mm thick low density ROHACELL r=7.69 – 8.68 cm cellulose wrapping tape 0.5 mm thick

forward tapered section first conical section 22.5° taper second conical segment 45° taper all layers constant thickness innermost diameter 4.58 cm

GlueX collaboration meeting, Newport News, January 10-12, 2008 5

Central Drift Chamber - updated

active length shortened to 150 cm two options for stereo layer sequence

option 11. stereo layers 4-7 and 13-162. sequence -,-,+,+ in each

option 21. stereo layers 4-6, 12-14, 20-222. sequences -,-,- ; +,+,+ ; -,-,-

trade-off issues polar angle resolution track finding / pattern recognition

GlueX collaboration meeting, Newport News, January 10-12, 2008 6

Forward Drift Chamber - updated

changed package positions compressed in z last package in stronger field region

different dead region in each package 2.3 cm, 3.2 cm, 3.9 cm, 4.6 cm

important reduction in outer radius of active region now r=48.5 cm allows space for HV coupling capacitors

detailed sandwich repeating structure for frames important new materials at r=60cm for cooling

0.5 mm copper cylinder around frame periphery 0.7 mm aluinum cylinder between packages

GlueX collaboration meeting, Newport News, January 10-12, 2008 7

Barrel Calorimeter - updated

overall dimensions unchanged new readout segmentation scheme

innermost 12 cm covered by 4 (phi) x 6 (depth) 2 x 2 cm2 cells with Winston cones and SiPMs.

outermost 10.48 cm covered by 2 x 25.23 x 5.04 cm2 cells with light collectors, light

pipes readout scheme specifies coupling with Winston

cones of uniform 2 x 2 cm2 collection area large gaps appear in phi at outer layers coverage ranges from 92.6% (layer 1) to 80.4% (layer

6) for inner layers, 96.7% - 90.7% outer layers may affect energy resolution, should be studied only energy in readout cells is seen in simulation

GlueX collaboration meeting, Newport News, January 10-12, 2008 8

Barrel Calorimeter - updated

total channel count settled 2304 SiPM channels (upstream + downstream 384 outer channels (several per Planacon?)

routing of light pipes not shown, probably doesn’t matter because outside acceptance

Upstream Veto – removed

commented out

Gas Cerenkov

Stand-alone Monte Carlo toy model of Cerenkov optics, Eugene Chudakov

This mirror geometry is now in HDGeant. Optical properties by E. Chudakov

GlueX collaboration meeting, Newport News, January 10-12, 2008 11

Time-of-Flight counter - unchanged

two layers 2.54 cm thick square area 255 cm on a side square beam hole 12 cm on a side unwrapped in simulation, probably ok

GlueX collaboration meeting, Newport News, January 10-12, 2008 12

Forward Calorimeter - unchanged

quasi circular, radius 29 x 4 cm beam hole 3 x 3 blocks nothing special for beam-hole region energy deposition response model

GlueX collaboration meeting, Newport News, January 10-12, 2008 13

Solenoid / magnetic field

uniform field in azimuth map coverage from 4 cm to 254 cm linear extrapolation outside mapped region

probably inaccurate in downstream region update underway to new larger map new map dimensions ?? CD3 studies should use the new map
