Abstract

Results from a test with a CsI(Tl) calorimeter will be presented. The purpose was to evaluate the use of CsI(Tl) for high resolution electromagnetic calorimetry. A resolution of about 1% has been measured between 4 and 20 GeV. A very high electron/hadron separation of > 1 : 1000 has been observed. Prospects and limitations for large scale applications will be discussed.
