  3. Phobos Detector 2003 d mini-pCal Au Two new calorimetersinstalled. pCal Corey Reed / MIT

  4. Calorimeter Modules • Built by E864 (AGS)NIM A406, 227 (1998) • Lead-scintillator10 cm x 10 cm x 117 cm • 47x47 fibers / module • 2 detectors built • Au exit side: 8x11 • d exit side: 2x2 117.0 cm Corey Reed / MIT

  5. Performance • AGS energy resolution0.38 / sqrt(E (GeV))(single module) • For our 8x11 array,0.23 / sqrt(E (GeV)) • Tubes very stable overd+Au run • No evidence of saturation Shower simulation(top view) Energy (arbitrary units) Corey Reed / MIT

  6. PCAL Assembly “Pile on many more layers and I’ll be joining you there.” Corey Reed / MIT

  7. Calibration Cosmic Ray Event in PCAL • Au-exit side PCAL • Cosmic triggers installed • Use cosmic rays to calibrate • Gains vertically symmetric • d-exit side PCAL • Gains vertically symmetric • Relative gains horizontally match Au-exit side detector Row Column Corey Reed / MIT

  8. Signal Spectators Recoils d Participants In nucleus rest frame. White circles show neutrons. • Measure recoiling and spectator protons • Use Glauber calculation to get centrality Corey Reed / MIT

  9. Signal • Au ion • 100 GeV/c spectator proton • 50 GeV/c recoiling proton Protons bent into calorimeter byRHIC accelerator magnet Corey Reed / MIT

  10. Centrality Measure • Independent centrality measure • Correlates well with multiplicity-based measure • See centrality talks by Richard Hollis and Aneta Iordanova Corey Reed / MIT

  11. PCAL as Crosscheck • PCAL used as crosscheck in study of systematic errors • With PCAL centrality, data shows same features • See talk by Abigail Bickley tomorrow Preliminary Corey Reed / MIT

  12. Deuteron Side PCAL • On deuteron exit side: • PCAL finds proton,ZDC finds nothing • n+Au interaction • PCAL finds nothing,ZDC finds neutron • p+Au interaction • Studies underway Corey Reed / MIT

  13. Deuteron Side PCAL • Does the selection make sense? • Signal in d-side PCAL • Peripheral event Corey Reed / MIT

  14. Summary • New calorimeters added to Phobos • Detectors working and stable • Provide centrality information • Provide information on collision system Corey Reed / MIT
