Abstract

We report on the calibration and performance of a large lead liquid-argon electromagnetic calorimeter used by experiment E706 at Fermilab. The reconstructed π⁰ mass was used to calibrate the energy response of the calorimeter. The systematic uncertainty in the linearity and uniformity of the mean-energy response of the calorimeter after calibration was found to be less than ± 0.5% for the sample of data analyzed. Detector characteristics, including sampling fluctuations and position resolution, are discussed.
