Backsplash Testbeam results for the SPD

A small fraction of the cascade developed in a calorimeter by the primary particle is emitted backward as radiation often called backsplash. A testbeam with electrons and pions has been done to complete previous studies of the effect of backsplash on the SPD (Scintillator Pad Detector), positioned j...

Sumario:A small fraction of the cascade developed in a calorimeter by the primary particle is emitted backward as radiation often called backsplash. A testbeam with electrons and pions has been done to complete previous studies of the effect of backsplash on the SPD (Scintillator Pad Detector), positioned just before the Preshower and ECAL system. The measurements and their comparison with GEANT3 and EGS4 simulations are presented in this note.
