Abstract:

The energy and spatial resolution in the LGD are measured using 2-shower invariant mass distributions from $ \eta \to 2\gamma$ and $ \pi^0 \to 2\gamma$ decays. The mass resolution of the $ \eta $ is mainly driven by the shower energy resolution while the width of the $ \pi ^0$ has a large spatial resolution contribution. Simultaneous analysis of the $ \eta $ and $ \pi ^0$ data enables extraction of the parameters that describe both the shower energy and spatial resolution of the LGD.
