Study of effects of detector mis-calibration on energy resolution for the SiPM-on-tile section of the High Granularity Calorimeter for CMS. — •Daria Selivanova — Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron DESY, Notkestraße 85, 22607 Hamburg, Germany

High Luminosity era of the LHC is fast approaching and the upgrades of the detector systems are now in various stages of production. The CMS experiment will receive a High Granularity Calorimeter (HGCAL) to replace the existing endcaps. Active layers of the upcoming sampling calorimeter are being constructed, and, I bring into focus work performed in the Tile Assembly Center in DESY on Scintillator tile modules of the hadronic section. The modules are constructed using the SiPM-on-tile technology, named after it’s two main components: scintillating tiles coupled to Silicon Photo-Multipliers. One such pair makes a single channel of the hadronic endcap and the complete detector will feature more than 280 000 of them. Due to detector’s geometry and the difference in production technics, tiles are trapezoidal in shape, range in area from 5.3 to 30.4 cm² and have varying light yield depending on the size. These factors necessitate establishing the optimal strategy for monitoring of tile characteristics to assure longevity of good detector performance. Quality control (QC) procedures for tiles have been established following the successful pre-series campaign and are now being utilised. The acquired data are also used to add detail to the simulation of the detector to study the effects the precision of QC results has on energy resolution.
