Influence of the distribution of PWO crystal radiation hardness on electromagnetic calorimeter performance

Description

The distribution of about 5000 mass-produced PWO crystals by their light yield and radiation hardness is analysed. The correlation between results of radiation hardness measurements at low and saturating dose rates is refined. A method for the evaluation of the energy resolution of the electromagnetic calorimeter accounting for a distribution of individual PWO crystal characteristics is proposed. A preliminary analysis of the PWO crystal recovery kinetics is also performed
