Abstract

Lead glass detectors have been calibrated with electrons in the range of 50–350 MeV. The energy loss in the active lead glass converters has been compared with EGS predictions. The energy resolution for all the converter-absorber pairs was measured to range between 55% at 50 MeV and 18% at 350 MeV.
