Abstract
A Forward Neutron Calorimeter (FNC) for ZEUS is being constructed to d etect high energy neutrons produced in the proton direction in ep coll isions at HERA. To investigate the feasibility of such studies, a smal l iron-scintillator sandwich calorimeter was placed on the zero degree line 102 m downstream of the main ZEUS detector. The calorimeter was calibrated by studying proton beam-gas interactions during the HERA ac celeration cycle. The design and construction of the calorimeter are d escribed and the results of the test studies presented.
