Monte Carlo studies towards the design of iron/scintillator and uranium/scintillator calorimeters
- 1. Oxford Univ. (UK). Nuclear Physics Lab.
Description
The GHEISHA/EGS hadron shower Monte Carlo program has been used to investigate the containment length, energy response and resolution of iron/scintillator and uranium/scintillator calorimeters for incident pions in the energy range 2-300 GeV. Similar studies have also been made for hadron jets in the energy range 20-300 GeV, and the fluctuations in response and resolution caused by the varying electromagnetic content of jets have been investigated.
