Abstract：
An array of 9 BGO crystals of 20×20×200mm³ equipped with photomultiplier readout was assembled and tested. Radioactive γ and neutron sources, (p,γ) reactions by low energy protons from Van de Graaff accelerator and (n,γ) reactions by thermal neutrons from nuclear reactor were employed to produce photons in the energy range from 0.5 to 21MeV. The energy response of the array is shown to be linear over the whole range. Data on the energy resolution follow an E^1/2 dependence at low energies, and deviate from it at 4.43MeV and higher energies. Results from the lateral energy deposition of showers were compared with the predictions of the Monte Carlo simulation and found to be in good agreement. Our study demonstrates the feasibility of calibration and monitoring of BGO electromagnetic calorimeter by means of radioactive sources and low energy (p,γ) reactions.
