Abstract
We report on measurements performed on a liquid scintillator calorimet er prototype designed for the very forward region in an experiment at the LHC. The liquid scintillator technique has the well known advantag es of high speed, low noise and radiation hardness. The proposed solut ion is a SPACAL-like calorimeter with liquid scintillator circulating in quartz tubes positioned in a lead matrix. The beam tests were perfo rmed at the CERN SPS with electrons and pions in the range 20-120 GeV. Results on the energy response and resolution are presented.
