In order to investigate the performance as a function of calorimeter characteristics, events were simulated in the SDC detector for Z and Z{prime} (m{sub Z}{prime} = 1TeV) production at two different P{sub T} values (50GeV/c and 500GeV/C). This initial study concentrated on the effects of clustering (including jet fragmentation fluctuations and contributions from underlying events), segmentation and calorimeter energy resolution. These studies were intended to explore the capabilities of the SDC detector for reconstruction of hadronic decays of massive particles (Z mass or greater). We find that detector-independent contributions dominate the mass resolution for the range of parameters being considered by SDC.
