Abstract
The CMS Electromagnetic Calorimeter (ECAL) is made of about 75 000 lead tungstate crystals. The 61 200 crystals of the barrel part are read by Avalanche Photodiodes (APD) with internal amplification of the signal. Since the gain strongly depends on the bias voltage, the APDs require a very stable power supply system. To preserve the high energy resolution of the calorimeter, a stability of the bias voltage of the order of 10 - 4 is required over several months, a typical interval between absolute calibrations of the full read-out chain with physics events. This paper describes the high voltage power supply system developed for CMS ECAL and its performances as measured in laboratory tests and during test-beam operations of several modules of the calorimeter.
