摘要
We present the results of a study of the effects of thermal and pileup noise in liquid ionization calorimeters operating in a high luminosity environment. The method of optimal filtering of multiply-sampled signals to obtain timing and amplitude from calorimeter signals is described. This method has some advantages over the traditional method of sampling the peak of a shaped signal, which include a reduced sensitivity to channel-to-channel variations in the pre-filter shaping parameters and good performance over a wide range of operating conditions. Analytic expressions for the variance of amplitude and timing measurements are found through a frequency domain approach. Implications for the choice of pre-filter shaping time, number and position of the samples, and digitization accuracy are discussed.
