  9. HYCAL: Transition Region

  10. Summary • The PrimEx collaboration in the past eight years has been developed and constructed 1250 PbWO4 high resolution crystal shower detector modules. • Based on these crystal modules a high resolution Hybrid Electromagnetic calorimeter (HyCal) has been designed, developed and constructed with the 1118 x 118 cm2 size. • The HyCal undergone successful tests in the PrimEx experiment with high intensity photon beam passing the central 4x4 cm2 hole during three months of radiation. • The expertise and accumulated experience of the PrimEx collaboration can be used to construct a larger size crystal calorimeter to be used in different 12 GeV leading experiments.
