Abstract :
The main parameters of large-area avalanche photodiodes (APDs) with a new structure of metal-resistive-semiconductor layers (MRS) are described. The first experimental data taken with a small PbWO4 (PWO) electromagnetic calorimeter equipped with a new APD readout system in a 20-70 GeV electron beam at CERN are also presented
