Description
The Electron-Ion Collider is an in-development facility that will enable further experimental study of the properties and behavior of fundamental and hadron-scale particles. In order for this project to proceed optimally, considerable efforts are required to design detectors and other equipment suitable to the physics specifications set for the Electron-Ion Collider. One of many planned detectors for this facility is an electromagnetic barrel calorimeter called the Barrel Imaging Calorimeter. The design for this calorimeter will be unique worldwide, as it will involve energy-summing layers alongside imaging layers, allowing for state-of-the-art particle detection. In order to construct this detector, many design elements require finalization. This work’s main focus is on energy resolution studies for the tracking layers of the Barrel Imaging Calorimeter to verify that charged particles operating on a kinematic range comparable to that of the Electron-Ion Collier will be detected with sufficient resolution. Components of this CERN ROOT based analysis include gain calibrations, quality checks on data, and analysis of energy leakage in the test calorimeter. Data collection took place on a stand-in singular calorimeter segment at Jefferson Lab.
