We examine the effect of both dead material and missing material on the hermiticity of calorimetry for the type of detector proposed for the SSC. Using a simulation of the D0 detector based on the CERN Monte Carlo program Geant, we study the effects of cracks and cryostat dead material on missing E/sub T/. An improved version of the Isajet program that incorporates initial state Bremsstrahlung is used to investigate the contribution due to missing E/sub T/ from energy disappearing down the beam pipe.
