Description
We are investigating the feasibility of a scintillator-tungsten
electromagnetic calorimeter. We use silicon photomultipliers in our
calorimeter module to detect light in scintillator tiles guided by
wavelength-shifting fibers. We observe sensitivity to single visible
photons in the photomultipliers, and can discriminate photons on a time
scale of under 10 ns. We are currently studying the response of our module
to cosmic ray muons, as well as the performance of the wavelength-shifting
fibers.
