Design and Performance of a Silicon Tungsten Calorimeter Prototype Module and the Associated Readout (1912.11115v2)
Published 23 Dec 2019 in physics.ins-det
Abstract: We describe the details of a silicon-tungsten prototype electromagnetic calorimeter module and associated readout electronics. Detector performance for this prototype has been measured in test beam experiments at the CERN PS and SPS accelerator facilities in 2015/16. The results are compared to those in Monte Carlo Geant4 simulations. This is the first real-world demonstration of the performance of a custom ASIC designed for fast, lower-power, high-granularity applications.
