摘要: We study the photon detection efficiency and position resolution of the electromagnetic calorimeter (EMC) of the BESIII experiment. The control sample of the initial-state-radiation (ISR) process of e+e−→γμ+μ− is used at J/ψ and ψ(3770) resonances for the EMC calibration and photon detection efficiency study. Photon detection efficiency is defined as the predicted photon, obtained by performing a kinematic fit with two muon tracks, matched with real photons in the EMC. The spatial resolution of the EMC is defined as the separation in polar (θ) and azimuthal (ϕ) angles between charged track and associated cluster centroid on the front face of the EMC crystals.

摘要: We study the photon detection efficiency and position resolution of the electromagnetic calorimeter (EMC) of the BESIII detector. The control samples of the initial-state-radiation (ISR) process of e+e−→γμ+μ− at J/ψ and ψ(3770) resonances are used for the calibration of the photon cluster shapes and photon detection efficiency study. The photon detection efficiency is defined as the fraction of predicted photon, determined by performing a kinematic fit with the four momenta of two charged tracks only, matched with the actual photons in the EMC. The spatial resolution of the EMC is studied in polar (θ) and azimuthal (ϕ) angle directions in a cylindrical coordinate system centered at the interaction point, with z-axis along the beam direction.

摘要: The inner drift chamber of the BESIII is encountering serious aging problem after five year's running. For the first layer, the decrease in gas gain is about 26% from 2009 to 2013. The upgrade of the inner tracking detector has become an urgent problem for the BESIII experiment. An inner tracker using CMOS pixel sensors is an important candidate because of its great advantages on spatial resolution and radiation hardness. In order to carry out a Monte Carlo study on the expected performance, a Geant4-based full simulation for the silicon pixel detector has been implemented. The tracking method combining the silicon pixel inner tracker and outer drift chamber has been studied and a preliminary reconstruction software was developed. The Monte Carlo study shows that the performances including momentum resolution, vertex resolution and the tracking efficiency are significantly improved due to the good spatial resolution and moderate material budget of the silicon pixel detector.
