Abstract
Abstract A Pb/scintillator sampling calorimeter covering the pseudorapidity interval of η = 0.83 to 4.20 has been designed and constructed for Experiment 814 of Brookhaven National Laboratory. The calorimeter uses wavelength shifting optical fibers for readout. Such fibers allow the construction of a highly granular and longitudinally compact device. A novel scheme for coupling a fiber to a scintillator plate has been designed that yields a high photoelectron response. Longitudinally, the calorimeter has a depth of four interaction lengths divided into two electromagnetic sections and two hadronic sections of 0.4, 0.4, 1.6, and 1.6 interaction lengths, respectively.
