Abstract

The transmission of hadrons through iron absorbers is investigated for a variety of experimental configurations, and incident particle types (protons and charged pions) and energies (0.8 GeV/c to 100 GeV). The results obtained are consistent with available experimental data.

A Monte Carlo simulation of the response of a hadronic calorimeter to protons of momentum 3.5 to 200 GeV/c
1985, Nuclear Inst. and Methods in Physics Research, A
The response of scintillation counters in an ionization calorimeter to incident protons of momenta 3.5 to 200 GeV/c was simulated using the CALOR computer code system. Results of the simulation are compared with data taken at Brookhaven National Laboratory for 3.5- and 10-GeV/c protons and at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory for 50-, 100- and 278-GeV hadrons. Mechanisms which produce large pulse heights for low-energy incident particles are discussed.

e+e- physics with the PLUTO detector
1982, Physics Reports
The contributions of the PLUTO experiment to e⁺e⁻ physics at collision energies in the range of 3–32 GeV are reviewed. The review briefly sketches the storage rings DORIS and PETRA at DESY, and describes the most important features of the PLUTO detector, of data processing, and of the analysis methods. It covers the physics results in the fields of electroweak interactions, of the heavy lepton τ and the search for still heavier leptons, of hadron production with evidence for quark and gluon jets, as well as for single and multiple gluon emission, of Y decays and their relation to QCD, and presents results in high-energy photon-photon interactions, including the first measurement of the photon structure function.
Measurements of the response of a hadronic calorimeter to beams of pions and protons of 1-10 GeV/c momenta
1985, Nuclear Inst. and Methods in Physics Research, A
An ionization calorimeter was studied with a test beam at the Brookhaven Alternating Gradient Synchrotron. The purpose of the experiment was to calibrate the response of a similar but larger cross section calorimeter used to study high energy cosmic ray showers at the University of Maryland, College Park, Maryland. The beam momenta were between 1 and 10 GeV/c. Results of measurements of (1) the mean pulse height from a scintillator at different depths in the calorimeter, (2) the frequency of occurrence of very rare events with pulse heights many times the mean pulse height and (3) the correlation of pulse heights from several scintillators at different depths are presented and discussed.
