Abstract
This paper describes a hadron calorimeter prototype with cylindrical c ompressed-gas ionization chambers. The noise characteristics in two mo des of analog signal adding are compared. The calorimeter's energy res olution under pion beams with momenta of 312, 43, and 56 GeV/c was mea sured. The coordinate' resolution under the 56-GeV/c pion beam was eva luated. The paper outlines ways to improve the device to suit a collid er experiment.
