The SuperB factory electromagnetic calorimeter

Abstract

The SuperB project is an asymmetric e+e- accelerator of 1036cm-2s-1 luminosity, capable of collecting a 50 - 75 ab-1 data sample in five years of running. The SuperB electromagnetic calorimeter (EMC) provides energy and direction measurement of photons and electrons and identification versus other charged particles for electrons. A matrix of 25 LYSO crystals has been tested at the Beam Test Facility at Frascati in May 2011 at energies between 100 MeV and 500 MeV. Results from this test will be presented. Design and Monte Carlo studies for the general EMC system will also be presented.
