Summary

In this paper we present a Monte Carlo study of a calorimeter response for an experiment to equip the magnetic facility of the USA space station. Main purpose in the design of such a calorimeter is the efficient discrimination between eloctromagnetic and hadronic showers. The estimated rejection power results to be better than 1·10−3 p/e+ for incident particles with energy between 10 GeV and 100GeV.

Riassunto

In questo lavoro presentiamo lo studio, realizzato con un metodo di Monte Carlo, della risposta di un calorimetro progettato per un esperimento da inserire nel magnete della stazione spaziale USA. Il principale obiettivo, considerato nel progetto di questo calorimetro, è l’efficiente discriminazione tra sciami elettromagnetici e adronici. Il potere di reiezione è stimato migliore di 1·10−3 p/e + per energie delle particelle incidenti da 10 GeV a 100 GeV.

Резюме

В этой работе мы предлагаем исследование по методу Монте-Карло отклика калориметра, который сконструирован для экспериментов на космической станции США. Основная цель при конструировании такого калориметра заключается в эффективной дискриминации между электромагнитными и адронными ливнями. Оценивается степень устранения фона протонов, которая оказывается лучше, чем 1·10−3 p/e+ для падающих частиц с энергиями между 10 ГэВ и 100 ГэВ.
