Usage in scientific papers

The sampling of such calorimeters is determined by the required lateral size of electromagnetic shower, expressed by a Moli`ere radius RM , and the light yield provided by scintillator plates.
Performance of a fine-sampling electromagnetic calorimeter prototype in the energy range from 1 to 19 GeV

The compact electromagnetic calorimeter design being considered for sPHENIX has a Moli `ere radius of ∼ 15 mm, and with a calorimeter at a radius of about 100 cm, this leads to an optimal segmentation of ∆η × ∆φ = 0.024 × 0.024 in the electromagnetic section.
sPHENIX: An Upgrade Concept from the PHENIX Collaboration

These requirements lead to a calorimeter design that is compact (i.e. has a small Moli `ere radius and short radiation length), has a high degree of segmentation (0.024 × 0.024 in η and φ), and can be built at a reasonable cost.
