Abstract
The NOE Collaboration has proposed a calorimeter to measure the energy of t
he final states of v interaction events. The properties of long scintillato
r bars with wavelength-shifting fiber readout have been studied to develop
a calorimeter design option. Various prototypes have been exposed to a cosm
ic rays stand.
The total measured light yield in the middle of a 6 m-long fiber is about 1
5 photoelectrons. With this photon collection performance, it has been simu
lated that the calorimeter can achieve 17%/rootE and 50%/rootE resolutions
for electrons and pions, respectively. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All r
