A simple model of hadron calorimeters

A simple model of hadron calorimeter response is examined. It is found that not only must a hadron calorimeter be compensated in order to achieve linearity, but also that the intrinsic hadron and electromagnetic resolutions must be equal if the calorimeter resolution is to be independent of energy a...

Summary:A simple model of hadron calorimeter response is examined. It is found that not only must a hadron calorimeter be compensated in order to achieve linearity, but also that the intrinsic hadron and electromagnetic resolutions must be equal if the calorimeter resolution is to be independent of energy and have a Gaussian distribution.
