Beschreibungen/Notizen
A calorimeter, consisting of uranium plates and thin liquid ionization chambers filled with tetramethylpentane (TMP) at room temperature, has been tested using electrons between 10 and 70 GeV. The essential characteristics of the liquid are discussed, including measurements of the free electron lifetime. Results on uniformity, linearity and energy resolution are described and some information on the response to hadrons has been obtained. A single TMP box containing four electrodes and a TMP position detector for electromagnetic showers have also been tested.
