Abstract
An iron calorimeter for cosmic ray hadrons to be used in a large air shower experiment is described. The iron absorber is interspersed with ionization chambers filled with the room temperature liquid tetramethylsilane. Experiences with the calorimeter, its performance and long-term stability are presented. For energies in the TeV region shower profiles and transition curves have been measured and are compared with Monte Carlo calculations using the Fluka and Gheisha codes.
