In this paper, the energy and spatial resolution of a 40 l liquid-xenon calorimeter was measured and the details of construction and running of such a device were discussed.Abstract:
The energy and spatial resolution of a 40 l liquid-xenon calorimeter was measured. For electrons in the energy region 1–6 GeV the resolutions are σE/E = 3.4/√E (%), σx = 4.6/√E (mm). The details of construction and running of such a device are discussed.read more
