David Hitlin ICHEP 2014 July 5, The energy resolution of the calorimeter (~5% at 105 MeV) cannot compete with the momentum resolution of the tracker in discriminating against DIOs – However, E/p resolution allows e/  discrimination Excellent time resolution (<0.5 ns) is extremely useful – In combination with E/p, allows excellent rejection of cosmic rays that evade the veto system that surrounds the detector solenoid – Provides a means of seeding track finding starting at the calorimeter rather than at the very busy target region, thereby improving track- finding efficiency by ~10% – Can provide an orthogonal trigger Calorimeter functionality
