Introduction

CMS is building a high resolution Crystal Calorimeter (ECAL) to be operated at LHC in a very harsh radiation environment.

Resolution design goal: ~0.5% constant term Calibrating and maintaining the calibration of this device will be very challenging. Hadronic environment makes physics calibration more challenging

PbWO 4 Crystals change transparency under radiation The damage is significant (few % - up to ~5 % for CMS ECAL barrel radiation levels) at high luminosity The dynamics of the transparency change is fast (few hours) compared to the time scale needed for a calibration with physics events (weeks - month).

Correct using the observations of laser monitoring system

Laser Monitoring System

Laser light is injected into the crystals via fiber-optic cables

Avalanche photodiode response is measured (APD)

Light is also injected in reference PN diodes

Ratio of APD and PN responses is used to monitor crystal transparency changes

Irradiation Crystal Response

Test Beam 2006

Test Beam at CERN from June to November 2006

One ECAL supermodule in beam at time

15-250 GeV electrons

Intensity: Up to 50K events / 60s, Approx. 15 rad/hour ECAL SM 22

Online monitoring system was implemented to reconstruct laser runs and log values Moveable stand Beam line

Online Laser Monitoring

For each laser run:

APD and PN pulses reconstructed

APD, APD/PN and PN distributions for each channel (1700 per SM) are fit and used to extract mean values

Similar distributions are monitored in geometric groupings (half SM, light modules); used for potential corrections

Correlations between different values (APD - APD/PN - timing, Chi2, etc.)

9 ECAL supermodules examined

Over 1,600 laser runs processed

Online Monitoring Stability

4/30/2020

All channels, all modules : Stability 1.4 % from gauss fit to peak.

Raw stability

D

APD/PN Overall stability good, even at this basic level without any further corrections.

APD/PNStability:

Get APD/PN ratios for each channel, each SM

Normalize average APD/PN to 1 for each SM

Fit gauss to normalized APD/PN for each channel

Sigma of these fits is the stability

11 Christopher Rogan - APS April 2007 Meeting

Offline Monitoring Stability Example for one SM (22)

Small systematic change in reconstructed APD value related to Peak timing.

Correct APD/PN ratios with a simple linear function of peak timing

Mean before and after correction : 0.180 % 0.088 % Peak before and after correction : ~0.170 % ~0.05 %

Outlook

Measured the APD/PN stability for individual channels on a large scale

Demonstrated reasonable online APD/PN stability; could be used for online electron response corrections

Achieved offline APD/PN stability for majority of channels with simple corrections. Further corrections are currently being studied

Demonstrated the ability to maintain resolution during irradiation
