21. The influence of radiator just in front of the lead glass wall was studied using an electron beam and was reported on in Ref. [4]. The 0.5 in of steel corresponding to 1.7 radiation lengths of steel was found to increase the energy measuring error from 0.121 ± 0.005 to 0.133 ± 0.005 GeV for 3 GeV electrons, for example.

24. In the analysis of the later 1995 data set, full charged particle event reconstruction was completed before LGD calibration began. Background from hadronic showers was identified before calibration. This both enhances the illumination of the calorimeter during calibration and reduces backgrounds leaking into the calibration process.

26. The energy resolution function for this photomultiplier-lead glass combination was determined from prototype measurements, and is discussed in Ref. [4]. The energy dependence of the resolution function follows the form σ/E = (a + b/√/Ē)%, and was found to be independent of incident angle for the relevant angular range from 0° to 18°.
