Abstract :
The results of the tests of a prototype ionization sampling calorimeter are presented. Using proportional chmbers interleaved with lead and sampling every 0.68 radiation length, we found an energy resolution of 24%/¿E. Measurements of position resolution, lateral shower developent, and hadron rejection are discussed.
