Description

Paper dwells upon three various procedures to calibrate the CMS detector HF leading calorimeter making use of 3 mCi activity 60Co radioactive source. The described procedures are shown to enable to ensure ∼5% calibration accuracy in contrast to that performed using 100 GeV energy electrons

Abstract (Russian)

Обсуждаются три различных метода калибровки переднего калориметра HF детектора CMS с использованием радиоактивного источника 60Co активностью 5 мКи. Показано, что предложенные методы позволяют достичь точности калибровки ∼ 5% относительно калибровки, проведенной на электронах с энергией 100 ГэВ
