Description
The experimental conditions and physics goals of LHC experiments set
challenging specifications for detectors and their readout electronics.
The CMS Electromagnetic Calorimeter (Ecal) is an example of a complex
system in which every component needs to be understood in detail in order
to ensure the quality of the physics results.
In 2006 9 ECAL supermodules were exposed to an electron test beam in
the energy range from 15 GeV and 250 GeV. Many aspects of the
calorimeter response have been studied in detail.
We will describe the results of these studies, with emphasis on the
contribution of the electronics to linearity, resolution and noise
of the system.
