Performance of a magnetized total absorption calorimeter between 15 GeV and 140 GeV

The authors have calibrated a magnetized iron-scintillator sandwich calorimeter in a hadron beam, finding an energy resolution equal to 16% fwhm at 140 GeV with 4 cm sampling. The hadron energy resolution (fwhm/mean) improves as E/sup -1/2/ between 15 and 140 GeV. No effect due to the magnetic field...

Sumario:The authors have calibrated a magnetized iron-scintillator sandwich calorimeter in a hadron beam, finding an energy resolution equal to 16% fwhm at 140 GeV with 4 cm sampling. The hadron energy resolution (fwhm/mean) improves as E/sup -1/2/ between 15 and 140 GeV. No effect due to the magnetic field was observed. Longitudinal and lateral shower containment were also investigated. (15 refs).
