Study of Hadronic and Electromagnetic Shower Development between 10 and 140 Gev by an Iron - Scintillator Calorimeter
نویسنده
چکیده
Results are presented on the analysis of CDHS test beam data using an iron-scintillator calorimeter exposed to electrons and pions in the energy range 10 to 140 GeV. Shower development is studied in order to extract information on calorimetric response to electrons and pions, longitudinal and transverse shower profiles, shower containment and correlations, muon punch through and the effect on energy resolutions due to dead materials.

Hadronic Shower Development in Tile Iron-scintillator Calorimetry
The lateral and longitudinal profiles of hadronic showers detected by a prototype of the ATLAS Iron-Scintillator Tile Hadron Calorimeter have been investigated. This calorimeter uses a unique longitudinal configuration of scintillator tiles. Using a fine-grained pion beam scan at 100 GeV, a detailed picture of transverse shower behavior is obtained. The underlying radial energy densities for fo...

متن کاملHadron Energy Reconstruction for the ATLAS Calorimetry in the Framework of the Non-parametrical Method
This paper discusses hadron energy reconstruction for the ATLAS barrel prototype combined calorimeter (consisting of a lead-liquid argon electromagnetic part and an iron-scintillator hadronic part) in the framework of the non-parametrical method. The non-parametrical method utilizes only the known e/h ratios and the electron calibration constants and does not require the determination of any pa...

متن کاملValidation of GEANT 4 Monte Carlo models with a highly granular scintillator - steel hadron calorimeter
Calorimeters with a high granularity are a fundamental requirement of the Particle Flow paradigm. This paper focuses on the prototype of a hadron calorimeter with analog readout, consisting of thirty-eight scintillator layers alternating with steel absorber planes. The scintillator plates are finely segmented into tiles individually read out via Silicon Photomultipliers. The presented results a...
