Abstract: (Elsevier)
A total-absorption calorimeter for determining the energies of hadrons has been built and tested in beams at the National Accelerator Laboratory. The calorimeter is being used in an experiment to measure neutron total cross sections. The design of the calorimeter is described and its performance is reported. The resolution of the calorimeter for 300 GeV protons is found to be 12.8% fwhm.
