In this paper, a review of the methods used to calibrate and reconstruct energy and timing is reported, focusing on the calibration procedures developed using the 2.4 pb−1 collected in 1999.
Abstract
The main aim of the KLOE experiment at DAΦNE, the Frascati φ-factory, is to study CP violation in the K0– K 0 system. Requirements on shower detection are very stringent. An hermetic, lead-scintillating fiber sampling calorimeter has been chosen and built. A review of the methods used to calibrate and reconstruct energy and timing is reported in this paper. Emphasis is given to the calibration procedures developed using the 2.4 pb−1 collected in 1999. An energy resolution of 5.7%/ E/ GeV is achieved together with a linearity in energy response better than 1% above 50 MeV. A time resolution of ∼54 ps / E/ GeV is also measured on samples of radiative Bhabha and Φ decays.

Performance of the prototype module of the GlueX electromagnetic barrel calorimeter

TL;DR: A photon beam test of the lead/scintillating-fibre module for the GlueX-electromagnetic barrel calorimeter was carried out in Hall B at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility with the objective of measuring the energy and timing resolutions of the module as well as the number of photoelectrons generated as discussed by the authors.

Calorimeters for present and future accelerators: a status report

TL;DR: Calorimetry plays an important role in experiments operated at present accelerators and will continue to do so in the future as discussed by the authors, but only a few examples can be reviewed in this paper.
