Description

We present results from a fully modular lead/TMP calorimeter. In electromagnetic configuration, we have measured the response of 2.5 to 150 GeV/c electrons. The e/π fraction has been determined with electron and pion beams from 5 to 50 GeV/c in hadronic configurations. The modularity of the calorimeter has permitted us to study the compensation for various amounts of hydrogen traversed by the showers. A detailed comparison to a Monte Carlo simulation of all the results is presented. (orig.)
