Description

New projective prototypes of a scintillator/lead sandwich type sampling calorimeter Shashlik with a silicon preshower detector have been constructed and tested with an electron beam at CERN-SPS. The energy resolution is measured to be 8.7%/√(E(GeV)) in stochastic term, 0.330/E(GeV) in noise term and 0.5% in constant term. The angular resolution is better than 70 mrad/√(E(GeV)). (orig.)
