Description

The behaviour of BGO sectors, designed for an electromagnetic calorimeter to be operated at up to 2 GeV, is considered in relation to the different terms that contribute to the overall BGO resolution and to the techniques that can be adopted to reduce them to a minimum. In particular, the measurements of light collection uniformity and energy resolution obtained on a large number of sectors are reported, and their effect on the overall BGO resolution analyzed.
