Contribution
It proposes using quartz plate calorimetry as a promising upgrade solution for the CMS HE detector.
Findings
Current scintillators will degrade under HL-LHC conditions
Quartz plate calorimetry offers improved radiation hardness
The upgrade ensures sustained detector performance
Abstract
Analysis of the CMS data and the simulation prediction based on these results indicate that the performance of the current scintillators in the CMS Hadron Endcap Calorimeter (HE) tiles will degrade dramatically in the High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) era. In order to continue the physics program in this region, the HE tiles will need to be replaced. The new tiles should have comparable/improved performance, be radiation hard, reliable and robust.
