Precision Crystal Calorimeters in High Energy Physics Ren-Yuan Zhu California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, CA 91125, USA
Pre ision rystal alorimetry traditionally plays an important role in high energy physi s experiments. In the last two de ades, it fa es a hallenge to maintain its pre ision in a hostile radiation environment. This paper reviews the performan e of rystal alorimeters onstru ted for high energy physi s experiments and the progress a hieved in understanding rystal's radiation damage as well as in developing high quality s intillating rystals for parti le physi s. Potential appli ations of new generation s intillating rystals of high density and high light yield, su h as LSO and LYSO, in parti le physi s experiments is also dis ussed.

Total absorption shower ounters made of inorgani s intillating rystals have been known for de ades for their superb energy resolution and dete tion ef ien y [1℄. In high energy and nu lear physi s, large arrays of s intillating rystals have been assembled for pre ision measurements of photons and ele trons. The dis overy potential of rystal alorimetry was early demonstrated by the Crystal Ball experiment through its study of radiative transitions and de ays of the Charmonium family [2℄. Figure 1 (Left) shows nearly all the prin ipal radiative transition lines of the Charmonium system simultaneously measured by the NaI(Tl) rystal alorimeter. The designed goal of the CMS lead tungstate (PbWO4 ) rystal alorimeter [3℄ is to maximize its dis overy potential in sear hing for narrow resonan es in photon and ele tron nal states at LHC. Figure 1 (Right) shows the expe ted ba kground subtra ted Higgs peak re onstru ted with its two de ay photons by the CMS PbWO4 alorimeter. The potential of the Higgs dis overy via this de ay

Figure 2 (Left) shows energy resolution as a fun tion of the ele tron energy obtained with the L3 BGO alorimeter in the CERN test beam, whi h is in a good agreement with the Bhabha ele tron resolutions measured in situ at LEP by using the RFQ alibration [5℄, as shown in Figure 2 (Right).

To preserve rystal pre ision in a severe radiation environment rystal quality ontrol is a ru ial issue. The rest of this paper is devoted to a review of opti al and s intillation properties of heavy rystal s intillators ommonly used for the parti le physi s.

For LYSO(Ce) rystals our initial investigation on 2:5 2:5 20 m3 bar samples indi ates that they suer less radiation damage than other rystals, su h as BGO, CsI(Tl) and PbWO4 [10℄. Figure 12 (Left) shows an expanded view of the longitudinal transmittan e spe tra measured for a long LYSO samples before and after ea h step of -ray irradiations at 2, 100 and 9,000 rad/h. An immediate in rease of the longitudinal transmittan e after the rst irradiation under 2 rad/h was observed, whi h was followed by small degradation under higher dose rate. Be ause of LYSO's high light yield its natural phosphores en e and radiation indu ed phosphores en e have small effe t in readout noise. Fig. 12 (Right) shows the ray indu ed PMT anode urrent for two long LYSO samples and a linear t. The radiation indu ed phosphores en e related readout noise with 100 ns integration time is estimated to be about 0.2 MeV and 5

4. Crystal Development and Quality Improvement Commer ially available mass produ ed rystals usually do not meet the quality required for the pre ision
rystal alorimetry. A resear h and development program is usually needed to systemati ally study the
orrelations between rystal's radiation hardness and its impurities and point defe ts. By removing harmful impurities from the raw materials and developing an approa h to ee tively redu e the density of defe ts in the rystal during the growth and pro essing, the quality of mass produ ed rystals may be improved. This approa h has been su
essfully arried out for BGO [13℄, BaF2 [14℄, CsI(Tl) [11℄ and PbWO4 [11, 15℄. Two examples are given below in this se tion.
4.1. CsI(Tl) Development Figure 13 (Left) shows the light output as a fun tion of a
umulated dose for full size ( 30 m) CsI(Tl) samples produ ed at the Shanghai Institute of Cerami s (SIC), and ompared to the BaBar radiation hardness spe i ation (solid line) [11℄. While the late samples SIC-5, 6, 7 and 8 satisfy the BaBar spe i ation, early samples SIC-2 and 4 did not. This improved radiation hardness of CsI(Tl) rystals was also observed by BaBar and BELLE experiments [16℄. The improvement of CsI(Tl) quality was a hieved following an understanding that the radiation damage in halide rystals is aused by the oxygen or hydroxyl
ontamination. The identi ation of oxygen ontamination was a hieved by the Se ondary Ionization Mass 0038

Spe tros opy (SIMS) analysis arried out at Charles Evans & Asso iates. A Cs ion beam of 6 keV and 50 nA was used to bombard the CsI(Tl) sample. All samples were freshly leaved prior before being loaded into the UHV hamber. An area of 0.15 0.15 mm2 on the
leaved surfa e was analyzed. To further avoid surfa e
ontamination, the starting point of the analysis is at about 10 m deep inside the fresh leaved surfa e. Figure 13 (Right) shows the depth pro le of oxygen
ontamination for two radiation soft samples (SIC-T1 and SIC-2) and two radiation hard samples (SIC-T3 and Khar'kov). Crystals with poor radiation resistan e have oxygen ontamination of 1018 atoms/ m3 or 5.7 ppmW, whi h is 5 times higher than the ba kground ount (21017 atoms/ m3 , or 1.4 ppmw). The pra ti al solution at SIC is to use a s avenger to remove oxygen. This leads to the development shown in Figure 13 (Left).
4.2. PbWO4 Development Figure 14 shows the light output as a fun tion of time under various dose rates for CMS full size (23
m) PbWO4 samples produ ed at SIC [11℄. Samples produ ed late 2002 is mu h more radiation hard than the early samples. This improved radiation hardness of PbWO4 rystals was also on rmed by an evaluation of mass produ ed PbWO4 rystals [17℄. The improvement of PbWO4 quality was a hieved following an understanding that the radiation damage in oxide rystals is aused by the oxygen or latti e stru ture va an ies. By using Transmission Ele tron Mi ros opy (TEM) oupled to Energy Dispersion Spe trometry (EDS), a lo alized stoi hiometry analysis was used to identify oxygen va an ies. A TOPCON-002B S ope was rst used at 200 kV and 10 A. Samples were made to powders of an average 6

By employing a TEM with EDS system, a lo alized stoi hiometry analysis was arried out at SIC [18℄. The system is a JEOL JEM-2010 s ope and a Link ISIS EDS. The spatial resolution of this system allows a lo alized stoi hiometry analysis in a region of a diameter of 0.5 nm. An as grown sample was rst analyzed, and bla k spots were observed. Points inside and surrounding the bla k spots were analyzed as well as points far away from the bla k spots. The un ertainty of the analysis is typi ally 15%. The resultant atomi fra tions (%) at these areas are listed in Table V. A lear deviation from the atomi stoi hiometry of O:W:Pb = 66:17:17 was observed in the
enter of these bla k spots, pointing to a severe de it of the oxygen omponent. In the peripheral area, the oxygen de it was less, but still signi ant. There was no oxygen de it observed in the area far away from the bla k spots. As a omparison, the same sample after oxygen ompensation was re-analyzed. No bla k spot was found. The result of the analysis is also listed in Table V. In all randomly sele ted points no stoi hiometry deviation was observed. This analysis thus

Figure 15 (Left) shows a TEM pi ture taken for a sample with poor radiation hardness. Bla k spots of a diameter of 5 { 10 nm were learly seen in the pi ture. On the other hand, samples with good radiation hardness show stable TEM pi ture with no bla k spots, as shown in Figure 15 (Right).

Various approa hes were tried to ompensate oxygen va an ies by annealing PbWO4 rystals in an oxygen-ri h atmosphere [11℄ and by doping [15℄. Signi ant improvement of radiation hardness was observed in both ases. The pra ti al solution at SIC is to dope PbWO4 rystals with yttrium. This leads to the development shown in Figure 14.

rystal s intillators. Mass produ tion apability of LSO/LYSO rystals has been established for the medi al industry. Crystals of size suÆ ient for building a
rystal alorimeter are routinely grown. Assuming the same readout s heme as the CMS PbWO4 alorimeter, the expe ted energy resolution of an LSO/LYSO based rystal alorimeter would be

whi h represents a fast alorimeter over large dynami range with very low noise. Su h alorimeter would provide ex ellent physi s potential for high energy physi s experiment in the International Linear Collider [19℄ or in a super B fa tory [20℄.
6. Summary Pre ision rystal alorimetry has been an important part of high energy physi s dete tor. Its energy resolution, position resolution and photon identi ation apability has been a key fa tor in many physi s dis overies. In the last two de ades, however, it fa es a hallenge: the radiation damage in s intillation rystals. Progresses have been made in understanding rystal's radiation damage and developing high quality rystals for high energy physi s experiments. Re ent availability of mass produ tion apability of large size LSO and LYSO rystals provides an opportunity to build a rystal alorimeter with unpre edent energy resolution over a large dynami range down to MeV level. This rystal alorimeter, if built, would greatly enhan e the dis overy potential for future high energy and nu lear physi s experiments.
