Abstract
The radiation hardness properties of a tile/fiber calorimeter with dif ferent materials or with different optical path layouts have been stud ied. Ten calorimeter modules of a geometry similar to that of the prop osed SDC calorimeter were irradiated using the BEPC electron beam (1.1 or 1.3 GeV). Radiation damage was quantified by measuring the light y ield at various locations within the calorimeter modules at different integrated doses. The recovery process and the dependence on the ambie nt atmosphere were also studied and correction techniques for various dose and depth profiles were developed.
