Title: Dead material and energy measurements in hadronic calorimeters

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/6337317· OSTI ID:6337317

Often the question arises as to where is the optimal place to locate [open quotes]dead[close quotes] material in a calorimeter. This material may be needed for structural reasons, for example. There needs to be a quantified answer to the question of what damage this [open quotes]dead[close quotes] material does to the performance of a calorimeter. For the purposes of this note, a hadronic calorimeter (HAD) is characterized by the mean and standard deviation of the energy measurement made by that detector.
