Description
We have been developing a readout method for Shashlik Electromagnetic Calorimetry based upon liquid-filled capillaries fabricated from radiation hard (high OH content) fused silica. The liquids are waveshifters, capable of shifting scintillation light from 425nm (emission from LYSO (Ce) crystals or conventional plastic scintillator) to wavelengths in the green (500nm). While the liquid in the capillary core serves as the light source, the Quartz capillaries provide the bulk of the optical path through which the wave shifted light is transmitted to photosensors. Characteristics and performance of prototype structures will be presented, as well as plans for further development of the technique.
