Design, construction, commissioning and long term operational experience with the D0 Uranium/Liquid Argon calorimeter
Abstract
The D0 experiment was designed in the mid 1980s and ran at the Fermilab pp collider from 1992 through 2011. I describe the uranium-liquid argon calorimeter and its readout electronic which was upgraded in the late 1990s to handle the higher luminosity of the upgraded Tevatron during its second running period from 2001-2011. I summarize maintaining the calorimeter for 20 years of data taking. I further describe a few issues that arose during that time, including different types of noise and the anomalous high voltage currents seen only in the central calorimeter.
