CMS Hadronic Endcap Calorimeter Upgrade Studies for SLHC ``P-Terphenyl Deposited Quartz Plate Calorimeter Prototype''

The LHC is going to reach the designed value of 10$^{34}$cm$^{-2}s^{-1}$ in 2013. The LHC luminosity will continue to improve each year, reaching to 10$^{35}$cm$^{-2}$s$^{-1}$ in 2023. We call this high luminosity era the Super-LHC (SLHC). As the integrated luminosity of the LHC increases, the scintillator tiles used in the CMS Hadronic Endcap calorimeters will lose their efficiency. The CMS collaboration plans to substitute the scintillator tiles in the original design with quartz plates. Various tests have proved quartz to be radiation hard, but the light produced by quartz comes from Cerenkov process, which yields fewer photons than scintillation. To increase the light production, we propose to treat the quartz plates with radiation hard light enhancement tool, p-Terphenyl. The test beam studies revealed a substantial light production increase on pTp deposited quartz plates. We constructed a 20 layer calorimeter prototype with pTp coated plates, and tested the hadronic and the electromagnetic capabilities at the CERN H2 area. Here we report the results of these test beams as well as radiation damage studies performed on p-Terphenyl.
