LKr barrel calorimeter

Eng Up Kedr

LKr barrel calorimeter gives the possibility to obtain an energy resolution for photons with energy in the range 30-5000 MeV comparable with that of NaI or CsI calorimeters and much better position resolution, due to possibility of measuring the photon conversion point. Furthermore, the fine granularity of the calorimeter provides information for particle identification based on dE/dx method as well as e/pi separation using the shower longitudinal structure.

The inner radius of the barrel is 75 cm. The thickens is 68 cm (15 rad. units). The total amount of LKr is 27 tons. The expected energy resolution is sE/E=1.9%/E1/2. The space resolution is fraction of a millimeter for high energy photons. Parameters of the electronics must be optimized with account of nose in the LKr colorimeter.
