Abstract
The WiZard Collaboration is engaged in a program to study the antimatt er components of the cosmic rays. A silicon-tungsten (Si-W) imaging ca lorimeter has been developed as part of this program. We present its p erformance and preliminary results, obtained during a balloon flight o n September 8, 1993. The flight was dedicated to the measurement of th e positron spectrum in the energy range 4-50 GeV and took place from F t. Sumner, New Mexico.
