Abstract
Test results of a liquid krypton/argon electromagnetic calorimeter wit h accordion type electrode structure are presented. The test was carri ed out at the Brookhaven AGS in a negative beam with good electron ide ntification at momenta 5, 10, 15, and 20 GeV/c. Results on energy reso lution, linearity, pointing resolution, and muon response are presente d. The results are in good agreement with Monte Carlo calculations. Th e energy resolution of 6.7%/square-root E was achieved using liquid kr ypton and 7.7%/square-root E with liquid argon, with a negligible cons tant term.
