Popis: A drift collection calorimeter having a combined radiator and field shaping structure made of lead glass tubing is described. With the aid of the EGS Monte Carlo code we show that such a device, when pressurized to 10 atm, will give a resolution of σ/E = 9.6%E − 1 2 provided that the shower is contained at a 99% level. Track length restriction and Landau sampling have been included in the EGS simulation. In addition, leading particle biasing and weighting techniques have been employed for the first time with EGS, with an increase in efficiency of about 100–300 for 10 GeV shower containment calculations.
