We gratefully acknowledge the contributions of Tracy McAskill, Vladimir Nagaslaev, Alan Sill, Veronica Stelmakh, Yunyong Wang, Erika Washington and Kim Zinsmeyer to the construction of the DREAM detector. We thank CERN for making particle beams of excellent quality available. Our beam tests would not have been possible without the help we received from Claude Ferrari and Maurice Haguenauer. We thank K. Kuroda for loaning us the fiber hodoscopes, and A. Gorin and I. Manouilov for their assistance with the data acquisition system. This study was carried out with financial support of the United States Department of Energy, under contract DE-FG02-95ER40938, and the Advanced Research Program of the State of Texas.

N2 - Electromagnetic shower development in a copper-based fiber calorimeter is studied by simultaneously measuring the scintillation light and the Cherenkov light generated in this process. We report on the energy resolution, the signal linearity and the dependence of the response function on the impact point and the angle of incidence.The electrons range in energy from 8 to 200 GeV. Differences observed between the results from the two types of signals are presented and interpreted.
