Abstract
A calorimeter with optical quartz fibers embedded into an absorber mat rix was proposed for the small angle region of the CMS detector at LHC (CERN), This type of calorimeter is expected to be radiation hard and to produce extremely fast signal. Some results from beam tests of the quartz fiber calorimeter prototype are presented.
