Abstract
We describe the design and performance of a prototype shower maximum d etector based on a two-dimensional scintillation hodoscope with a fibe r readout for the STAR experiment at RHIC. The main characteristics of the detector, namely, energy response, energy and position resolution , e(-)/pi(-) rejection power, and pi(0)/gamma separation have been mea sured and calculated for different detector locations (depths) inside an electromagnetic calorimeter, different detector granularities, and various methods of construction.
