Description

The construction and performance of a tower structured scintillator-lead photon calorimeter using a novel fiber optics readout system is described. An energy resolution of sigma/E = 0.10/√E was obtained with incident electrons in the range of 0.5 - 5.0 GeV/c. The uniformity of response across the front face of the tower was measured. Results obtained with a silicon photo-diode are compared to those obtained with a photomultiplier. (orig.)
