Precision measurement of energy and position resolutions of the BTeV electromagnetic calorimeter prototype

Abstract: The energy dependence of the energy and position resolutions of the electromagnetic calorimeter prototype made of lead tungstate crystals produced in Bogoroditsk (Russia) and Shanghai (China) is presented. These measurements were carried out at the Protvino accelerator using a 1 to 45 GeV electron beam. The crystals were coupled to photomultiplier tubes. The dependence of energy and position resolutions on different factors as well as the measured electromagnetic shower lateral profile are presented.

“…A necessary apparatus for separating low-probability decays from background processes is an electromagnetic calorimeter. A calorimeter consisting of counters based on lead tungstate (PbWO 4 ) crystals will provide the required high energy and coordinate resolution [3]. Lead tungstate crystals are characterized by high density, short radiation length, fast signal, and good radiation resistance.…”
