摘要
A performance test has been made for an electro-magnetic calorimeter prototype comprised four identical BSO crystals arranged in a 2 x 2 matrix by utilizing a positron beam in the energy range from 100 to 800 MeV. The size of each crystal is 40 x 40 x 210 mm(3). This is the world's largest BSO single crystal ever used as a photon detector. The obtained energy resolution is (sigma(E)/E)(2) = ((1.71% +/- 0.03%)/root E)(2) + (1.12% +/- 0.08%)(2) at room temperature, where E is the incident positron energy given in GeV. A BGO calorimeter having the same geometry has been employed in the performance test for comparison. The basic scintillation characteristics of BSO crystals measured without the beam are also presented. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
