Abstract
The Monte Carlo calculations of the Moliere radius (RM) for some homogeneous and heterogeneous media used in electromagnetic calorimetry in the energy range from 50 MeV to 10 GeV are presented in detail. The obtained results, the uncertainties in determining RM, estimations of the absorbed energy, methods for approximating the absorbed energy, and the accuracy of the results are discussed as well. Some RM are shown for calorimeter prototypes of the Spin Physics Detector experiment (SPD). A one-parameter function of the Moliere radius dependence on the absorber-scintillator thickness ratio is obtained.
