Participation in LHCb
  • Romanian group (spokesperson for IFIN-HH - Dr.
    Cornelia Coca up to Nov. 2004) consisting in
    particle physicists, PhD students, engineers and
    technicians of IFIN-HH has officially joined the
    LHCb Collaboration in February 1996.
  • The Romanian group has been
  • working on the Hadron Calorimeter project
  • - contributed very strongly to the prototype
    construction and the beam tests by
  • delivering approx 65 of the mechanics
    participating in (mechanics optic) assembling of
    the prototype Hcal modules
  • developing a computer controlled High Voltage
    distribution system for individual setting of the
    HV on each PMT for gain adjustment, used during
    the beam tests data taking (1998-2001)
    developing a new HVPS experimental model, with
    control by CUN-bus, for parallel supplying PMTs
    for hadron calorimeter
  • participating in beam test of Hcal prototype and
    offline analysis of the data taken.
  • -later on producing a small part of the mechanics
    for hadron calorimeter detector.
  • We also deal with LHCb optimization and physics
    studies, by using simulated data, as
  • calibration of the calorimeters using MIPs
    signal
  • contribution to b-baryons studies with LHCb
    detector
  • This group has been co-author of the LHCb
    Technical Proposal (1998) and LHCb Calorimeters
    Technical Design Report (2000), basic documents
    for the approval of the LHCb experiment
    (September 1998) and the construction of the
    Calorimeter system.
  • Other activity
  • Study of the K--gt??? rare decay at CERN SPS
    (common project with JINR/LPP, 2008)

The current members of the group who intends to
join the FCAL collaboration
Marius Ciprian Orlandea graduate Physics
Faculty, Bucharest, in 2001, IFIN-HH employee
Nov. 2001, Researcher from 2005, also PHD
student Eliza Teodorescu graduate student of
Physics Faculty, Bucharest, in 2006, IFIN-HH
employee Nov. 2006, Asistent Researcher from
2007, also Master student Laurentiu Dumitru
4-th year student of the Faculty of Science and

Contributions to FCAL until now
Simulations regarding energy spectra (kinetic
energy and depositions) of electrons and
positrons in sensor layers of the BeamCal
photon density and energy spectra as a
function of the layer depth implementation of
the geometry for the front-end electronics and
for the support tube surrounding the BeamCal
neutron density and fluences in sensor layers
and in electronics
Future possible contributions
  • Continue the simulation studies for the BeamCal
  • Other needed simulations
  • Participate with personnel in testbeams of sensor
    materials
  • Other contributions according with discussions,
    maybe some engineering support
