CALIBRATION OF A SHOWER LEAD-SCINTILLATION SPECTROMETER BY COSMIC RADIATION

The results of cosmic-muon calibration of a shower lead-scintillation “sandwich”-type spectrometer of thickness 8.5 X 0 , intended for operation in high-intensity photon and electron beams (~10 6 particles/s) with energies of 0.1–1.0 GeV are presented. It is found that the relative energy resolution...

Description
Summary:The results of cosmic-muon calibration of a shower lead-scintillation “sandwich”-type spectrometer of thickness 8.5 X 0 , intended for operation in high-intensity photon and electron beams (~10 6 particles/s) with energies of 0.1–1.0 GeV are presented. It is found that the relative energy resolution of the spectrometer depends on the angle of cosmic muon entry into the spectrometer in the vertical plane and is independent of the entry angle into the horizontal plane. The relative energy resolution of the spectrometer is δ = 16%. Placing of an additional lead-scintillation assembly of thickness 2.2 X 0 in front of the spectrometer improved its relative energy resolution to δ = 9%.
