Proudfoot, J

This paper discusses the issue of radiation damage in a sampling scintillator calorimeter with regard to the mechanical and optical design of such a device. Radiation damage is inevitable in some regions of the detector and the different damage and recovery time constants are compared to anticipated calibration data from W Z Boson decays. Some plausible values for safety factors in the initial design are given. 5 refs., 1 fig.
