Abstract
We describe a correction procedure for calorimetry data based on a response matrix approach. The response matrix is calculated using a Monte Carlo event generator coupled with a fast deposition program which simulates the response of the calorimeter to hadronic and electromagnetic showers. The data which are analyzed are transverse energy measurements from a relativistic heavy ion experiment (E814/E877) at the Brookhaven AGS. We use the method to determine the differential cross section ( dσ dE T ) as well as the spatial distribution of transverse energy ( dE T d η ) , both in bins of pseudorapidity η and as a parameterized function of η. The method is found to be insensitive to the characteristics of the event generator.
