Abstract
Particle energy measurements are an integral part in many particle physics experiments nowadays. This task is performed by calorimeters. Besides the completion of the four-vector of isolated, charged particles, the relevance of calorimeters has increased ever since the discovery of the W boson [1] because of their central role in the reconstruction of the energy flow in complex event signatures (jets and missing transverse energy).
