Abstract

An experimental investigation has been carried out on the properties of electromagnetic shower detectors composed of a uniform array of plastic scintillating fibers and lead (50:35 by volume ratio) for photons in the energy range 20-80 MeV. In good geometry conditions (photon hitting the fiber laterally), an energy resolution of 4.8%/square-root E[GeV] is obtained. This figure includes a 2%/square-root E[GeV] term added in quadrature due to the photoelectron statistics.
