Saturated avalanche calorimeter

Year: 1982

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: A gas sampling electromagnetic calorimeter running in a ‘‘Saturated Avalanche Mode’’ was tested at SLAC with positrons incident at energy up to 17.5 GeV. With this new method, good energy resolution, 16 percent/ √E, and good linearity were obtained with arrays of thirty‐four 0.5 radiation length thick lead plates interleaved with 34 wire counters. There was no measurable systematic effects. Amplifiers are not needed; the signals are large enough to be connected directly to the ADC’s.
