The data obtained by LHCf will set a crucial anchor point for calibration of the interaction models used in studies of high-energy cosmic-rays. In this paper, we report results of a beam test of an LHCf prototype detector that was carried out in July-August 2004 at the CERN SPS H4 beamline. We measured electromagnetic showers generated by 50-200 GeV electron primary beams and obtained 3-5% energy resolution as a function of the primary energy. The measured resolution is in good agreement with Monte Carlo simulations. The position resolution of SciFi hodoscope for measurement of the shower axis, 0.12-0.17 mm, was slightly worse than the MC expectation but adequate for the requirements of LHCf. This study gives a firm foundation for final design and fabrication of the LHCf detectors which will be installed in LHC in 2007 and operational in the early stages of LHC commissioning. | Descripción: | 14 pages, 11 figures.-- PACS nrs.: 13.85.Tp; 95.30.Cq; 95.55.Vj; 95.85.Ry.-- ISI Article Identifier: 000248784500012 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/9133 | ISSN: | 0168-9002 |
