Abstract
An iron-scintillator tile calorimeter with tower readout geometry was const ructed for the photoproduction experiment FOCUS (E831) at Fermilab. This ex periment ran in the 1996-1997 Fermilab-fixed target program using a wide ba nd photon beam with an average energy of 170 GeV. The hadron calorimeter wa s used in an online trigger. A description of this tile sampling calorimete r is given and its performance described. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. Al l rights reserved.
