Misconceptions about Calorimetry
@inproceedings{Livan2017MisconceptionsAC, title={Misconceptions about Calorimetry}, author={Michele Livan and Richard Wigmans}, year={2017} }
In the past 50 years, calorimeters have become the most important detectors in many particle physics experiments, especially experiments in colliding-beam accelerators at the energy frontier. In this paper, we describe and discuss a number of common misconceptions about these detectors, as well as the consequences of these misconceptions. We hope that it may serve as a useful source of information for young colleagues who want to familiarize themselves with these tricky instruments.
