Abstract

Performance parameters of a composite detection module of Spaghetti type Calorimeter (SPACAL), which is considered for the inner part of the future LHCb Electromagnetic Calorimeter (ECAL) in Upgrade Phase 2, are simulated using GEANT4 software supported by analytical calculations. The accuracy of the timestamp is estimated in both the front and back sections of the composite detector, whereas the energy resolution is estimated for the total signal from the front and back sections of the detector. The rise time of the scintillation response used in the calculations is reconstructed using the results of the coincidence time resolution measurements with annihilation γ-quanta. The time and energy resolutions with PMT readout are compared for Ce-doped garnet- and oxyorthosilicate-type single crystal scintillators without codoping and codoped with aliovalent impurities.
