IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science 43:3 PART 2 (1996) 1605-1609

Abstract:

This paper describes the issues encountered in the design of a large dynamic range digitizer for calorimetry. A gain switching technology developed for the liquid krypton calorimeter of the NA48 CP-violation experiment at CERN is described in detail. 14 bit dynamic range and better than 300 ps time resolution were achieved in beam tests with an 8 channel prototype. A mixed analog/digital ASIC has been developed. A 13'500 channel system is being produced which will be put into operation in 1996. © 1996 IEEE.

Abstract:

SOUDAN 2 is a 960-ton tracking calorimeter which has been constructed to search for nucleon decay and other phenomena. The full detector consists of 224 calorimeter modules each weighing 4.3 tons. The modules consist of finely segmented iron instrumented with 1 m long drift tubes of 15 mm internal diameter. The tubes enable three spatial coordinates and dE/ dx to be recorded for charged particles traversing the tubes. The spatial resolution is 0.38 cm in the x-y plane and 0.65 cm in the z, or drift, direction. The operation and performance of the modules are discussed.

Abstract:

We have searched for a heavy neutral gauge boson, Z′, using the decay channel Z′ → ee. The data were collected with the DØ detector at the Fermilab Tevatron during the 1992-1993 pp̄ collider run at √s = 1.8 TeV from an integrated luminosity of 15 ± 1 pb-1. Limits are set on the cross section times branching ratio for the process pp̄ → Z′ → ee as a function of the Z′ mass. We exclude the existence of a Z′ of mass less than 490 GeV/c2, assuming a Z′ with the same coupling strengths to quarks and leptons as the standard model Z boson.
