Scientific paper

An experimental study of the fluctuations in the cascade development for low energy hadrons in an iron calorimeter has been carried out using the test beam at Brookhaven National Laboratory. A small area calorimeter with a design identical to those being used in the Delayed Particle Experiment at College Park has been used to study the pulse height distributions and correlations between signals from various plastic scintillation, liquid scintillation and plastic Cerenkov detectors inside the calorimeter for pions and protons of momentum in the range of 1 to 10 GeV/c. Nearly 10 million events have been collected to study the frequency of large pulse height events. Observations show a surprisingly large tail in the pulse height distributions. Results obtained from the analysis of these data are presented here and their significance in relation to the use of burst detectors for studies of the hadron component in air shower experiments are discussed.
