Abstract
When designing a calorimeter system for a certain experiment, the detector should be suffciently large to contain the showers of interest at an adequate level. Also, the energy deposit profiles of the showering particles are important in that respect. It turns out that different types of shower leakage (lateral, longitudinal, albedo) have different effects on the quality of the measurements. Shower containment, profiles and leakage effects are the topics of this chapter.
