The Resolution of the L3 TEC After the Calibration Using the SMD
L3 technical note 1871, CERN, Geneva, 1995. [Full text (pdf)]
This note presents a study of the single wire resolution of the L3 TEC for data taken in 1994. For the main part of the detector the new SMD-based calibration gives a resolution which is 20% to 30% better than the one obtained with a TEC- based calibration. Inside the grid surrounding the anode the improvement is around a factor of two. The degradation of the resolution near the cathode is found to be much smaller than previously assumed. A significant asymmetry is observed between the two halves of each sector.
