Participation in LHCb
Romanian group (spokesperson for IFIN-HH - Dr. Cornelia Coca up to Nov. 2004) consisting in particle
physicists, PhD students, engineers and technicians of IFIN-HH has officially joined the LHCb Collaboration in
February 1996.
The Romanian group has been:
• working on the Hadron Calorimeter project
- contributed very strongly to the prototype construction and the beam tests by:
delivering approx 65% of the mechanics participating in (mechanics &optic) assembling of the prototype Hcal modules;
developing a computer controlled High Voltage distribution system for individual setting of the HV on each PMT for gain
adjustment, used during the beam tests data taking (1998-2001); developing a new HVPS experimental model, with
control by CUN-bus, for parallel supplying PMTs for hadron calorimeter;
participating in beam test of Hcal prototype and offline analysis of the data taken.
-later on producing a small part of the mechanics for hadron calorimeter detector.
• We also deal with LHCb optimization and physics studies, by using simulated data, as:
calibration of the calorimeters using MIPs signal;
contribution to b-baryons studies with LHCb detector
This group has been co-author of the LHCb Technical Proposal (1998) and LHCb Calorimeters Technical
Design Report (2000), basic documents for the approval of the LHCb experiment (September 1998) and the
construction of the Calorimeter system.

Contributions to FCAL until now
Simulations regarding :
energy spectra (kinetic energy and depositions) of electrons and positrons in
layers of the BeamCal
sensor
photon density and energy spectra as a function of the layer depth
implementation of the geometry for the front-end electronics and for the
tube surrounding the BeamCal
support
neutron density and fluences in sensor layers and in electronics
Future possible contributions
-Continue the simulation studies for the BeamCal
-Other needed simulations
-Participate with personnel in testbeams of sensor materials
-Other contributions according with discussions, maybe some engineering support
