Abstract
The baseline option for the very forward calorimetry in the CMS experi ment is an iron/gas calorimeter based on parallel plate chambers. A sm all prototype module of such a calorimeter, has been tested using elec trons of 5 to 100 GeV/c momentum with various high voltages and two ga ses: CO2 (100%) and CF4/CO2 (80/20), at atmospheric pressure. The coll ected charge has been measured as a function of the high voltage and o f the electron energy. The energy resolution has also been measured. C omparisons have been made with Monte-Carlo predictions. Agreement betw een data and simulation allows to make an estimation of the expected p erformance of a full size calorimeter.
