Description

Monte Carlo calculations have been carried out to determine the characteristics of hadronic and electromagnetic showers in a thin lead-argon calorimeter. Methods for discriminating between hadrons and electrons or photons over a wide range (10-100 GeV) of high energies are discussed. (Auth.)
