A set of calorimeters employing silicon diode sampling has been constructed to provide the small angle electre magnetic calorimetry for SLD at SLAC. The luminosity monitor and small angle tagger (LMSAT) and the medium angle silicon calorimeter (MASC) measure the direction and energy of electrons and photons in the region of 23-190 milliradians from the SLD beam axis. The calorimeter employs nearly two square meters of silicon diodes segmented into cells of approximately one square centimeter in area. One LMSAT module has been tested with electrons at the Brookhaven National Laboratory. The stack consists of 23 layers of silicon diodes separated by about one radiation length (3.5 millimeters) layers of tungsten alloy. The results of this beam test, including energy and spatial resolution, are presented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
