Energy resolution of the CMS crystal electromagnetic calorimeter has been measured with an electron test beam using a fully equipped barrel supermodule. Both intrinsic energy resolution and energy resolution for electrons with quasi-uniform impact on the crystal surface are measured. The amplitude o

β¦ Synopsis
The physics program at LHC is highly demanding in terms of detector performance. In particular, the A Toroidal LHC Apparatus (ATLAS) electromagnetic calorimeter has to match challenging requirements for energy, position and time resolutions. Calorimeter prototype and production modules have been tested under electron beams at CERN during the last three years. The results are presented and compared to ATLAS requirements.
