Abstract
The effect of high background illumination on the positioning resoluti on of the LEP and 4Q detector is studied. High background illumination lowers the noise sensitivity of the LEP, whereas the noise sensitivit y of the 4Q detector remains unchanged. The noise sensitivity drop rou ghly from 0.5 to 0.3 was demonstrated in the case of the LEP. This mea ns that by using an LEP instead of a 4Q detector, better resolution in high background illumination could be achieved despite the higher inh erent noise level of it.
