Accurate energy response to positrons up to 27.5 GeV
Stable long-term calorimeter performance
Effective hadron rejection and neutral meson reconstruction
Abstract
The performance of the electromagnetic calorimeter of the HERMES experiment is described. The calorimeter consists of 840 radiation resistant F101 lead-glass counters. The response to positrons up to 27.5 GeV, the comparison between the measured energy and the momentum reconstructed from tracking, long-term stability, hadron rejection and neutral meson invariant mass reconstruction are shown.
