Performance of the SLD Warm Iron Calorimeter pre-prototype

Conference · · IEEE Trans. Nucl. Sci.; (United States)
OSTI ID:5810443
The performance of a pre-prototype of the SLD Warm Iron Calorimeter (WIC) build with proportional tube cathode pad readout has been studied. The calorimeter was found to have an average resolution of 36.7 +- 0.2% for muons at 2.0, 5.0 and 10.5 GeV and 81 +- 2% ..sqrt..EPSILON for pion showers at 5.0 and 10.5 GeV. The mean energy found for the pion showers was consistent with a linear dependance on energy within these standard deviations.
