Test-beam results of a prototype position sensitive towerless calorimeter
- 1. Rockefeller Univ., New York, NY (United States)
Description
We present test-beam results obtained with a detector designed to measure the energy and lateral position of both electromagnetic and hadronic showers initiated by high energy particles. The detector is a lead/liquid-scintillator ''shish-kebab'' type calorimeter read out by wavelength-shifting fibers arranged in a pixel-type towerless geometry suitable for calorimetric tracking of particles in the forward region of collider experiments.
