Description

A review of experimental studies carried out by the SICAPO collaboration at CERN on Si/W and Si/U sandwich calorimeters is presented. Results on the response of sensed energy versus incoming electron energy and depleted layer width, of the longitudinal and lateral development of electromagnetic showers and of the energy resolution are given and compared with data from Hamburg (Si/Pb) and Tokyo (Si/Pb and Si/W) calorimeters. The performance of the electromagnetic section of a large Si/U hadronic calorimeter is also described. (orig.)
