Publication Abstract: | A new electromagnetic calorimeter consisting of 140 lead tungstate PbWO$ scintillating crystals was constructed for the PrimEx-eta experiment at Jefferson lab. The calorimeter was integrated into the data acquisition and trigger systems of the GlueX detector and used in the experiment to reconstruct Compton scattering events. The experiment started collecting data in the spring of 2019 and acquired about 30% of the required statistics. The calorimeter is a prototype for two PbWO4-based detectors: the Neutral Particle Spectrometer (NPS) and the lead tungstate insert ofthe forward calorimeter (FCAL) of the GlueX detector. The article presents the design and performance of the Compton calorimeter and gives a brief overview of the FCAL and NPS projects. |
