摘要
The purpose of the MIPP experiment is to study the inclusive production of photons, pions, kaons, and nucleons in pi, K, and p interactions on various targets using beams from the Main Injector at Fermilab. The function of the calorimeters is to measure the production of forward-going neutrons and photons. The electromagnetic calorimeter consists of 10 lead plates interspersed with proportional chambers. It was followed by the hadron calorimeter with 64 steel plates interspersed with scintillator. The data presented were collected with a variety of targets and beam momenta from 5 to 120 GeV/c. The energy calibration of both calorimeters with electrons, pions, kaons, and protons is discussed. The resolution for electrons was found to be 0.27/root E, and for hadrons the resolution was 0.554/root E with a constant term of 2.6%. The performance of the calorimeters was tested on a neutron sample. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
