Description

An experimental investigation has been carried out on the properties of electromagnetic shower detectors composed of a uniform array of plastic scintillating fibers and lead (50:35 by volume ratio) for photons in the energy range 20-80 MeV. In good geometry conditions (photon hitting the fiber laterally), an energy resolution of 4.8% √(E[GeV]) is obtained. This figure includes a 2% √(E[GeV]) term added in quadrature due to the photoelectron statistics. (orig.)
