Description

The temperature variations of a BGO crystal ball were monitored with a set of 177 platinum probes and followed in their evolution with time. This allowed the control of the temperature dependence of the calibration parameters of the calorimeter and the evaluation of its contribution to the energy resolution. (orig.)
