Abstract
A simple procedure, based on elementary shower theory, has been devised to compensate for attenuation losses over the surface of large sandwich-type shower counters. It uses tapered lead sheets in place of the usual flat plates and is capable of compensating for attenuation of as much as a factor of two. (Submitted as Letter to the Editor, Nucl. Instr. and Meth.) In an experiment at SLAC, ’ lead-lucite sandwich-type shower counters2 were used as an electron trigger. A new type of lucite3 was used in order to get maximum light output. A problem arose of correcting for severe light attenuation over the surface of the counter. (As the counters were used for
