Description

A large cellular hadron calorimeter consisting of independent modular total absorption counters (iron-scintillator sandwiches) is described. Scintillation light is collected using light guides with a wavelength shifter. The characteristics of the detector have been studied in a 200 GeV hadron beam. The detector makes it possible to measure simultaneously the energy and coordinates of several particles. (orig.)
