Abstract
An intense R&D program has been carried out by the NOE Collaboration during the last years, to develop a massive fine grain scintillating fiber calori meter, to be used, in combination with an appropriate target, in a Long Bas e Line experiment at the CERN to Gran Sasso (CNGS) neutrino beam. The perfo rmance of a 4 ton NOE calorimeter prototype exposed to a test beam at CERN PS is shown. Results on the linearity, electromagnetic and hadronic energy resolution are reported and compared with the Monte Carlo predictions. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
