CALOR89 calorimeter simulations, benchmarking, and design calculations

Results on CALOR89 benchmarking and design calculations utilizing the CALOR89 programs are presented. The benchmarking is done with respect to the ZEUS and DO calorimeters. The design calculations were done for a variety of absorbers (depleted uranium, lead, and iron) of various thicknesses for a given scintillator thickness and for a fixed absorber thickness using various thicknesses for the scintillator. These studies indicate that a compensating calorimeter can be built using lead as the absorber, whereas a pure iron calorimeter would be non-compensating. A depleted uranium calorimeter would possibly be unsuitable if used in a large configuration and a high luminosity machine because of the delayed energy release from captured gammas
