Contribution

It provides detailed measurements of calorimeter performance parameters as functions of energy, impact point, and angle, and compares results with existing data and simulations.

Findings

Electron response varies with energy and impact point.

Energy resolution improves with increasing energy.

e/h ratio is characterized across different incident conditions.

Abstract

The detailed information about electron response, electron energy resolution and e/h ratio as a function of incident energy E, impact point Z and incidence angle $\Theta$ of iron-scintillator hadron prototype calorimeter with longitudinal tile configuration is presented. These results are based on electron and pion beams data of E = 20, 50, 100, 150, 300 GeV at $\Theta = 10^o, 20^o, 30^o$, which were obtained during test beam period in July 1995. The obtained calibration constant is used for muon response converting from pC to GeV. The results are compared with existing experimental data and with some Monte Carlo calculations.
