Abstract :
The small-angle calorimeters of the SLAC large detector (SLD) were successfully operated during the recent SLAC linear collider (SLC) engineering run. The luminosity monitor and small-angle tagger (LMSAT) covers the angular region between 28 and 68 mrad from the beam axis, while the medium-angle silicon calorimeter (MASC) covers the 68-190-mrad region. Both are silicon-tungsten sampling calorimeters. The LMSAT employs 23 layers of 0.86 X0 sampling, while the MASC has 10 layers of 1.74 X0 sampling, while the MASC has 10 layers of 1.74 X0 sampling. The authors present results from the first run of the SLC with the SLD on beamline
