Abstract
A novel concept of a liquid argon calorimeter, the ''Thin Gap Turbine' ' (TGT) calorimeter, is presented. A TGT test module, equipped with sp ecially developed cold front-end electronics in radiation hard GaAs te chnology, has been operated in a particle beam. Results on its perform ance are given. A 40 MHz FADC system with a ''circular data store'' an d standalone readout and play-back capability has been developed to te st the properties of the TGT detector for trigger purposes. Results on trigger efficiency, response and energy resolution are given.
