Description

We have tested an electromagnetic streamer tube calorimeter in an electron beam in the energy range 1-70 GeV. Also the dependence of the response and energy resolution on the particle rate and magnetic field were investigated. A magnetic field transverse to the streamer tubes has no effect, while a field parallel to the wires deteriorates the energy resolution. (orig.)
