Abstract
We have studied the spatial resolution of a preshower system with alum inum as absorber and silicon strips as the active sampling detector. T he test beam was performed at X3 of the CERN SPS using an electron bea m with energies between 4 and 50 GeV. The shower profiles of different beam momenta and absorber thicknesses are compared to full GEANT simu lations.
