HCAL1 GENERAL

      The Hadron Calorimeter 1 (HCAL1) is a detector entering in the Large Angle Spectrometer (LAS) of COMPASS (see description of the set up in /COMPASS/DETECTOR/GENERAL/).

      It is designed to measure the energy of hadrons produced in the /COMPASS/TARGETS/ and contained in the LAS solid angle.

      The mechanics of the HCAL1, its frame and supports are described in the DETECTOR section.

      The calorimeter has been constructed at Dubna, delivered to CERN and tested first in the CERN test beams and later in the M2 beam as well. The results of the tests including the energy resolutions and calibrations are given in the RESULTS section.

      The OPERATION section contains manuals for switching ON/OF and monitoring of the HCAL1.

      The HCAL1 contact persons are listed in the CONTACTSsection.
