Abstract

We have measured the longitudinal particle punchthrough probability from shower cascades produced by hadrons incident on the iron-scintillator calorimeter of the CCFR neutrino detector and have compared them to a Monte Carlo simulation. Measurements of the dE/dx energy loss iron of high energy cosmic ray muons (up to 1 TeV) incident on the same detector are presented and are compared against calculations.
