Measurement of Light Collection of CMS PbWO4 Crystals: Comparison with the Cristal Monte Carlo Simulation Program and Further Evaluation

The measurement of the signal for light collection limited by the effective area of the present APD detectors has been evaluated using a photomultiplier and co60 source. Comparison of the methods and experimental results for simple geometrical situations has been made with the results of the CRISTAL Monte Carlo program which is also used to evaluate more complicated geometries including evaluation of a wavelength shifter used with an APD as a photodetector.
