Description
The UA1 detector is being upgraded for the high-luminosity era with ACOL at the CERN collider. The major component of the upgrade is the construction of a new combined electromagnetic-hadronic calorimeter. The technique chosen for this fine-grained calorimeter is to use uranium plates interleaved with thin ionization chambers filled with tetramethylpentane (TMP) at room temperature. The performance of the first full-scale module at PS and SPS beams is presented. (orig.)
