Abstract :
The CALOR system has been revised to reflect a better comprehension of high-energy nuclear collisions (HETC88) by incorporating a modified high-energy fragmentation model from FLUKA87. This revision will allow the accurate analysis of calorimeters at energies of 100s of GeV. The authors discuss the fundamental physics of compensating calorimetry, the new CALOR system (CALOR89), the revisions to HETC, and recently generated calorimeter-related data on modes of energy deposition and secondary neutron production (E<50 MeV) in infinite iron and uranium blocks
