Abstract
A hadron calorimeter based on high-pressure gas-ionization tubes arran ged nearly parallel to the incident particle direction was built and t ested in pion and electron beams at the CERN SPS. Data were taken in t he energy range of 10 to 100 GeV with the calorimeter tilted to the be am axis at angles varying from 0.9 degrees to 9.1 degrees. Results of the calorimeter response to pions and electrons and its energy resolut ion as a function of electric field, gas pressure, beam energy, and ti lt angle are presented. The calorimeter was developed for the forward region of high energy and high luminosity hadron colliders. It proved to be simple and easy to operate. Its parameters meet the needs of for ward calorimetry for LHC collider experiments.
