Annotation

The monitoring system of the electromagnetic calorimeter (ECAL) of the BM@N (Baryonic Matter at Nuclotron) spectrometer is presented. The system is based on a plastic scintillator with wavelength shifter Fibers. Detection of light is carried out by silicon photodetectors MPPC (Multi-Pixel Photon Counter), insensitive to the magnetic field. The efficiency of minimal ionizing particles registration is close to 100%. Work has been performed at the Veksler and Baldin Laboratory of Physics High Energies, Joint Institute for Nuclear Research.
