Abstract

We study the photon detection efficiency and position resolution of the electromagnetic calorimeter (EMC) of the BESIII experiment. The control sample of the initial-state-radiation (ISR) process of e+eγμ+μe^+e^-\rightarrow \gamma \mu^+\mu^- is used at J/ψJ/\psi and ψ(3770)\psi(3770) resonances for the EMC calibration and photon detection efficiency study. Photon detection efficiency is defined as the predicted photon, obtained by performing a kinematic fit with two muon tracks, matched with real photons in the EMC. The spatial resolution of the EMC is defined as the separation in polar (θ\theta) and azimuthal (ϕ\phi) angles between charged track and associated cluster centroid on the front face of the EMC crystals.
