Calorimeter test results

The performances of the calorimeter have been analysed by using electrons, pions and muons
in an energy range from 1 GeV to 9.5 GeV. In order to study the calorimeter features, dedicated data acquisition runs were performed after removal of the TRD marble layers so that incoming particles do not interact before reaching the calorimeter.
The following figures display typical 3 GeV electron and pion events. At the left and right hand sides the TRD and calorimeter modules are shown respectively. The streamer tube system is also shown. As expected, after marble removal, both pions and electrons are recorded in the TRD as single tracks, while different shower patterns are visible in the calorimeter.
