The construction and beam test results of the ATLAS electromagnetic end-cap calorimeter preproduction module 0 are presented. The stochastic term of the energy resolution is between 10% GeV 1/2 and 12.5% GeV 1/2 over the full pseudorapidity range. Position and angular resolutions are found to be in agreement with simulation. A global constant term of 0.6% is obtained in the pseudorapidity range 2.5 < η < 3.2 (inner wheel).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
