Abstract

Large lead/scintillator sandwich-type photon detectors, sensitive to visible energy depositions of 1 MeV, have been built for the K _L ⁰ → π ⁰ ν over(ν, -) experiment at the KEK 12-GeV proton synchrotron. The front barrel (FB) is composed of 16 modules with a length of 2.75 m, forming the 1.5 m-diameter cylinder. The main barrel (MB) is composed of 32 modules with a length of 5.5 m, forming a 3.5 m-diameter cylinder. Scintillation light is read out through wavelength-shifter (WLS) fibers. In this paper, the design, construction and performance of these detectors together with some R&D results are reported.

Bibliographical note

Funding Information:
Construction of these large-scale vetoes within such a short time period would not have been possible without substantial contributions from technical staff members of collaborating institutes and companies. We express our sincere thanks to them. A mechanical design of the calorimeter was made by ENTEK-HTTC, Russia, under the ISTC (International Science Technology Center) program No. 2118. Part of this work was financially supported by a Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research of the Ministry of Education, Science, Sports and Culture of Japan.
