Introduction The energy measurement with scintillation crystal is based on the energy released of the incident particles in the crystal material. An electromagnetic shower is produced by a high-energy electron, positron or photon enters the crystal. The light generated in the shower development is detected by photodetectors. The ultimate limit for the energy resolution is determined by fluctuations in the development of showers. Motivation: CMS & APDs

Conclusion Simulation shows that; PbWO4 crystal- Hamamatsu S8148 APD are good combination for energy measurements. The Hamamatsu S8148 APD had been optimised for the photons with around the peak wavelength of the PbWO4 emission spectrum. PbWO4 crystal has low light yield, In the case of the entire emission spectrum of PbWO4 crystal; one part of the photons, between in the wavelength region of 320-450 nm cause an increase of the F for the S8148 APD structure
