Abstract

We present results obtained with a uranium/copper scintillator fine-sampling calorimeter with wavelength shifter readout. Test beam measurements made with e^±, π^± and protons in the momentum range 0.3-40 GeV/c are presented. The calorimeter achieves energy resolutions of σ(E) E = 0.36 √E and 0.16 √E for hadrons and electrons, respectively. The measured ratio of response for electrons to that for hadrons is 1.11, for energies of 2 GeV or more. The spatial resolution achieved for single particles at normal incidence is ∼1 cm for electromagnetic showers and ∼3 cm for hadronic showers. Operational experience over three years of running at the CERN ISR, including operation at very high luminosities (∼1.4×10³² cm^-2 s^-1) is described.
