Abstract
We have built and tested a new type of sampling calorimeter using scintillator as the active material, and thin vacuum photodiodes for signal readout, the new feature. We measure an energy resolution of about 22%/✓E for electrons of 10–37.5 GeV. For muons the signal to noise ratio is about 2.4, corresponding to about 1000 pe/cm of scintillator. Important merits of such a design such as the excellent gain stability (photodetector gain=1), absence of the need for high voltages, and system simplicity in construction and operation, have been demonstrated.
