Description

Electromagnetic calorimeters are frequently used in nuclear physics experiments. Their purpose is to detect all or most of the energy emitted as photons in nuclear reactions or radioactive decays. Their advantage is that the total energy of an electromagnetic cascade is much better known than the individual energies and multiplicities of the gamma rays and electrons. In this presentation, we will show various calorimeters used by the nuclear physics community in Spain.
