Abstract

We have studied the performance of a high resolution uranium-scintillator calorimeter followed by a much coarser backing calorimeter, made out of iron plates interleaved with planes of limited streamer tubes. The test results, obtained at the CERN-SPS hadron beam, show that the backing calorimeter can be used either to veto events with significant energy leakage from the uranium calorimeter or to correct for the energy. In both cases the energy resolution of the combined calorimeters improves significantly compared to the uranium calorimeter alone.
