Abstract:

The LEP machine background and noise in the DELPHI calorimeters have been studied in four independent analyses. The main purpose of this work is to estimate the probability of a shower from these sources in coincidence with a genuine physics event and to see how best to reject this type of background. Both the 1998 and the 1999 high energy data have been used in this study.
