TLDR
The KLOE detector is designed primarily for the study of direct CP violation in K0 decays as mentioned in this paper. But it is not suitable for the measurement of the electromagnetic calorimeter, which is the most demanding element of the detector.
Abstract
The KLOE detector is designed primarily for the study of direct CP violation in K0 decays. The electromagnetic calorimeter, EmC, is a most demanding element of the detector. Two prototypes of the EmC (one for the barrel and one for the end-cap region) have been built at Frascati and tested at PSI (Switzerland) using beams of electrons, muons and pions of 40 to 290 MeV/c momentum, and at the Frascati LADON facility using photons of 20 to 80 MeV. We observe excellent linearity from 20 to 290 MeV. The energy resolution is σ(E)/E ∼ 4.4% / ”E(GeV) and the time resolution is ∼ 34 ps/”E(GeV). We found little dependence on incidence angle and entry position. We also determined that some πμ identification is possible.

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 electronic 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 mentioned in this paper.
