Plug Shower Maximum Detector for Cdf Run II
Abstract
A new forward/backward endplug calorimeter, covering the eta range between 1.1 and 3.5, has been installed for CDF Run II at the Fermilab Tevatron. One of the key components is a scintillating strip/wavelength shifting fiber detector located at the electromagnetic shower maximum. Its purpose is to measure the position of electromagnetic particles and to help discern early showering hadronic particles from electromagnetic decays. I will discuss the design, functionality and calibration of the Shower Maximum Detector and present performance results from the beginning of Run II.
