Abstract:

The effects of finite energy and position resolution are investigated using HDFast, for photons detected in the BCAL. It is found that the invariant mass resolution is significantly more sensitive to the BCAL position resolution in the azimuthal direction than in the longitudinal direction, and this might be an important consideration when optimizing the azimuthal readout segmentation of the BCAL.
