Crystal Calorimeters in Particle Physics

Creators: Gratta, G.; Newman, H.; Zhu, R. Y.

Abstract

Total absorption shower counters made of inorganic scintillating crystals have been known for decades for their superb energy resolution and detection efficiency. In high-energy physics, large arrays of scintillating crystals have been assembled for precise measurement of the energy and angle of photons and electrons.
