Abstract
The properties of final modules of a high resolution lead/scintillatin g-fibre calorimeter to upgrade the backward region of the H1 detector were studied with electrons in the energy range from 2-60 GeV. The ele ctromagnetic calorimeter consists of scintillating fibres with a diame ter of 0.5 mm embedded in a lead matrix. This small fibre radius, in c ombination with a lead-to-fibre ratio of 2.27:1, ensures excellent ene rgy resolution which has been measured to be sigma/E=7.1%/root E/GeV+1 .0%. The spatial resolution as a function of energy for impact points at the center of a cell is given by 4.4 mm/root E/GeV+1.0 mm. The time resolution was found to be better than 0.4 ns.
