Abstract
The CHORUS Collaboration is presently building a new detector for the search of nu(mu)-nu(tau) oscillations in the CERN neutrino beam, the e xperiment being sensitive to a mixing angle an order of magnitude smal ler than the present limit. The basic components of the CHORUS ''hybri d'' detector are an active target made of nuclear emulsions, an air co re spectrometer with scintillating fiber tracking, a high resolution c alorimeter and a muon spectrometer. An account is given here of the de sign of the 110-tons compensating calorimeter, made of 1 mm diameter s cintillating fibers embedded in a lead matrix, and of the test results from the first modules produced.
