Energy loss correction for a crystal calorimeter

Abstract: Material effect of inner-detectors on the performances of the BES Electromagnetic Calorimeter (EMC) is investigated. The BES Time-Of-Flight counters (TOF) have been utilized to improve the energy resolution and detection efficiency for photons after a careful energy calibration. A matching algorithm between TOF and EMC energy deposits is developed, and the effects of beam-related background are discussed. The energy resolution is improved and the photon detection efficiency can be increased by the combined mea… Show more

“…Energy measurements by the EMC only for such photons will not be very accurate. Monte Carlo simulations show that the energy losses of photons in the TOF counters in principle can be added to the EMC shower energies to partially compensate for the energy losses [43]. Including the energies deposited in 3 neighboring sectors of the two layer TOF counters in front of a 5 × 5 matrix of CsI crystals, the width of the total energy peak for high energy photons becomes narrower, as shown in Fig.…”

“…Energy deposited in the nearby TOF counters is included in the photon energy measurement to improve the reconstruction efficiency and energy resolution [13]. Photon candidates in the barrel region (j cos θj < 0.8, where θ is the polar angle of the shower) of the EMC must have at least 25 MeV total energy deposition; those in the end cap region (0.84 < j cos θj < 0.92) must have at least 50 MeV total energy deposition.…”

“…Over the last decades, traditional tracking strategy for the BESIII MDC system has been successfully working as the official reconstruction algorithms, including the tracking finding algorithms via PATTSF [3,4] and HOUGH [5], track parameters estimation based on Kalman Fitter and Rugge Kutta methods. This strategy works well, but there is still a decent room for improvement, especially for tracks with low momentum, high noise level as well as tracks from long lived particles (secondary vertex).…”
