Abstract

Cosmic-ray calibration of the 4-channel lead scintillation monitor with internal trigger shows that the consideration of only coinciding signals of counters placed in the monitor depth and detecting the final part of the high-energy photon shower, with signals of any other counters at the monitor top, detecting both the initial part of the high-energy photon shower and low-energy background photons, decreases the number of detected coincidences by a factor of 2–4. An increase in the number of such coincidences when using the monitor in the setup for studying neutral pion photoproduction on nuclei in the photon beam of the labeling system of the “PAKHRA” accelerator of the Lebedev Physical Institute makes it possible to separate the high-energy electromagnetic shower from the low-energy background and to monitor the beam photon energy.
