Particle Detector Development and Performance

We investigate the energy resolution of electromagnetic sampling calorimeters using the Monte Carlo program EGS. We study how the energy resolution depends on the shower energy, on the thickness of the absorber and detector layers, and on the charge number and density of the materials used to construct the calorimeter. Finally we compare our Monte Carlo results with experimental data.
