38 38 A, Baldini, Pisa 10 maggio 2005 Conclusioni e richieste sulle calibrazioni Monitorare frequentemente la risoluzione in energia di fotoni (E >15 MeV) entranti dalla faccia frontale e’ l’unico modo diretto per tenere sotto controllo il fondo accidentale Il metodo del  0 non puo’ essere usato se non una volta ogni qualche (6 –12 ?) mese perche’ si prevede una durata di questo calibrazione per circa due settimane. Con il CW si puo’ pensare ad una calibrazione (forse) giornaliera. Il CW consentirebbe un ulteriore numero di possibili calibrazioni e il miglior utilizzo del tempo fascio Costo: 500 K€.
