Romanian group (spokesperson for IFIN-HH - Dr. Cornelia Coca up to Nov. 2004) consisting in particle physicists, PhD students, engineers and technicians of IFIN-HH has officially joined the LHCb Collaboration in February 1996.

The Romanian group has been: • working on the Hadron Calorimeter project

- contributed very strongly to the prototype construction and the beam tests by:

delivering approx 65% of the mechanics participating in (mechanics &optic) assembling of the prototype Hcal modules;

developing a computer controlled High Voltage distribution system for individual setting of the HV on each PMT for gain adjustment, used during the beam tests data taking (1998-2001); developing a new HVPS experimental model, with control by CUN-bus, for parallel supplying PMTs for hadron calorimeter;

participating in beam test of Hcal prototype and offline analysis of the data taken.

-later on producing a small part of the mechanics for hadron calorimeter detector.

Participation in LHCb

• We also deal with LHCb optimization and physics studies, by using simulated data, as:calibration of the calorimeters using MIPs signal;contribution to b-baryons studies with LHCb detector

This group has been co-author of the LHCb Technical Proposal (1998) and LHCb Calorimeters Technical Design Report (2000), basic documents for the approval of the LHCb experiment (September 1998) and the construction of the Calorimeter system. Other activity

Study of the K+-->Π+νν rare decay at CERN SPS (common project with JINR/LPP, 2008)

The current members of the group who intends to join the FCAL collaboration

Marius Ciprian Orlandea – graduate Physics Faculty, Bucharest, in 2001, IFIN-HH employee Nov. 2001, Researcher from 2005, also PHD student

Eliza Teodorescu – graduate student of Physics Faculty, Bucharest, in 2006, IFIN-HH employee Nov. 2006, Asistent Researcher from 2007, also Master student

Laurentiu Dumitru – 4-th year student of the Faculty of Science and Information Technology in Bucharest, spent 1 year at the Faculty of Computer Engineering Univ. of Southern Denmark, part-time employee of this group

Dr. Cornelia Coca – Senior Researcher

Dr. Horia Petrascu – Senior Researcher, experimental nuclear physics and detector specialist (Dept. of Nuclear Physics)

We expect the current group to increase over the next few years

Contributions to FCAL until now

Simulations regarding :

energy spectra (kinetic energy and depositions) of electrons and positrons in sensor layers of the BeamCal

photon density and energy spectra as a function of the layer depth

implementation of the geometry for the front-end electronics and for the support tube surrounding the BeamCal

neutron density and fluences in sensor layers and in electronics

Future possible contributions

-Continue the simulation studies for the BeamCal

-Other needed simulations

-Participate with personnel in testbeams of sensor materials

-Other contributions according with discussions, maybe some engineering support
