Abstract :
Summary form only. SiCAL, the new ALEPH small-angle luminosity calorimeter, has been built at Saclay. The design and performance of this compact silicon-tungsten calorimeter which will provide a more powerful luminosity measurement, both statistically and systematically. Exposure of a prototype of this detector to a 50 GeV electron beam at CERN has been investigated and compared with EGS simulations. The improvement in systematic accuracy has been considered
