Title Tungsten Powder/Scintillating Fiber Calorimeter
Abstract Abstract Tungsten Powder/Scintillating Fiber Calorimetry is a novel JLab technology that was originally proposed at the very beginning of the 12 GeV Energy Upgrade project in 1999. This original proposal was to develop a compact calorimeter with good energy resolution and angular resolution at polar angles ¿35¿for the CLAS12 spectrometer to fit inside the Central Detector [1]. The Tungsten Powder calorimeter’s essential features are compactness, no gaps, homogeneity, simplicity, and unique readout capabilities not otherwise available. From the original proposal there exists a prototype calorimeter designed and built at JLab in 2002. Utilizing unique Tungsten Powder Calorimetry expertise developed at JLab while building of the original prototype we propose further R&D of the technology. We propose to investigate innovative methods to increase the radiator density, increase homogeneity through decreasing the diameter of the scintillating fibers. The ultimate goal is to develop a new typ
