A liquid argon ionisation calorimeter for detection of electromagnetic and hadronic showers

Creators

Description

The performance of a liquid argon ionization chamber, consisting of a set of eighty 2 mm thick iron plates, is described. Measurements with muons, and electron and proton showers were performed; from these measurements a ratio of 1.2 for the electron to proton response was derived. For hadron showers a good detection efficiency of nuclear spallation products could be established. (orig.)

Abstract (German)

Die Eigenschaften eines Fluessig-Argon-Ionisationskalorimeters, bestehend aus 80 2 mm dicken Eisenplatten, wurden mit Elektronen, Protonen und Mueonen im Bereich zwischen 2 und 20 GeV untersucht; aus den Daten wurde ein Pulshoehenverhaeltnis von ca. 1,2 fuer Elektronen und Protonen gleicher Energie abgeleitet. Die Ionisationskammer weist demnach auch stark ionisierende Kernbruchstuecke im hadronischen Schauer relativ gut nach. (orig.)
