Abstract
A new principle of light collection in long calorimetric cells filled with noble liquids is developed. A scintillation electromagnetic calor imeter with liquid xenon and krypton as working media has been built i n ITEP and tested at the ITEP and MIT (BATES) accelerators. The energy resolution is sigma(E)/E = 5%/root E for electrons of energy 100-350 MeV with LXe filling; the coordinate resolution is 0.7 cm; the time re solution for a single cell is 0.6 ns, A light collection technique wit h the use of a wavelength shifter is described.
