Abstract:

Simulations were carried out to study the response of the electro-magnetic barrel calorimeter of the GlueX Project. Specific issues that were investigated included the fraction of energy deposited in the scintillating fibers as well as the energy leakage from the sides of a single module. The results will be used as parameterized input to the full HDGEANT GlueX detector simulation package.
