            <p>Due to the statistical nature of ionisation energy loss, large fluctuations can occur in
the amount of energy deposited by a particle traversing an absorber element.
Continuous processes such as multiple scattering and energy loss play a relevant role
in the longitudinal and lateral development of electromagnetic and hadronic
showers, and in the case of sampling calorimeters the measured resolution
can be significantly affected by such fluctuations in their active layers. The
description of ionisation fluctuations is characterised by the significance parameter
