Description
The design and expected performance of tungsten - silicon "nose cone" calorimeters
for the upgrade of the Phenix experiment at BNL will be described. The calorimeters
will provide precision measurements of individual electromagnetic showers, aid in
gamma / pi0 / eta / hadron identification, and aid in jet finding, jet energy, and
impact position measurements. Two photon separation is expected to be provided to ~
1/4 the Moliere radius. The calorimeters will also contribute data for a fast
trigger. The design of the nose cone calorimeters provides one model for support,
readout, and cooling of calorimeter elements. Design features could be applicable
to the larger tungsten - silicon calorimeters under consideration for the ILC.
