ZDC in ATLASA Zero Degree Calorimeter (ZDC) is a calorimeter that resides at the junction where the two beam pipes of the LHC become one – at 0° from the pp collisions. It is housed in the shielding unit that protects the S.C magnets from radiation, and measures neutral particle production at 0°. It can play many roles.

ZDC in pp( Phase II configuration)ZDC in pp( Phase II configuration)

In pp, the ZDC can measure forward production cross sections for several types of particles at very high energies. This will be useful for adjusting parameters for simulations and models, and for cosmic ray physics where the energy in one proton’s rest frame is 1017 eV – a very interesting energy for extended air showers.

What happens when a high energy proton hits the upper atmosphere?

The ZDC can find a pi0 in the midst of several neutrons.

ZDC L1 trigger

• The ZDC trigger will be used primarily as a 2-arm coincidence (each arm above a preset threshold) in Heavy ion runs

• Trigger bits assigned in Central trigger Processor board ctp_cal

• Ctp_cal is designed to accept calib triggers as well as trigger from small systems like the ZDC

What we are planning

• Install full (8 module) ZDC phased with the LHCf run plan

• Integrate ZDC into ATLAS DAQ and provide a level1 trigger

• Will remove ZDC for highest Luminosity pp runs• Provide a critical role in Heavy Ion program• Important measurements of forward particle

production in pp collisions over full acceptance permitted by TAN constraints

• Funding from US Nuclear Physics program

Page 29: ATLAS Zero Degree Calorimeters

Schedule

• 1st module completed and tested in beam-no design changes planned

• Construction of mechanical modules can begin 2/07 expect completion in 6/07

• Remaining cables installed this spring• Main schedule uncertainty is daq electronics• Operation possible at end of ‘07 in conjunction

with LCHf detector

Page 40: ATLAS Zero Degree Calorimeters

Installation• Install in TAN coordinated by LEA/TS(Tsesmelis

group)• Many common issues

– Cabling,lift fixtures– Material activation

• Surveying not critical (~1mm tolerances)• We assume we are responsible for cost of cables,

panels , installation• Have requested Phase I installation ~7/07 (like

CMS) + 4 weeks of checkout• LEA aware of request and considered possible

Page 41: ATLAS Zero Degree Calorimeters

Installation(II)

• Phase II configuration after LHCf reaches limit (L~1028-1029) for run

• ZDC design rad hard through L=1033, after that will remove for pp runs

• Heavy Ion rad dose negligible.• We are requesting approval from the

collaboration to proceed with LOI submission to LHCC (this is a critical step before we can proceed with installation)
