Abstract

The Hadron Forward Calorimeter of CMS completed the Long Shutdown 1 part of the Phase I upgrade. Approximately 1800 photomultiplier tubes were replaced with thinner window, higher quantum efficiency, four-anode photo-multiplier tubes. The new photomultiplier tubes will provide better light detection performance, a significantly reduced background and unique handles to recover the signal in the presence of background. The upgrade is also associated with new cabling and channel segmentation options. This report will describe the upgrade and the nature of the essential upgrade elements with supporting test results.
