Popis: The response of a sampling total absorption counter (STAC) to protons, neutrons, pions, and electrons with incident energies up to 60 GeV is described. A good linearity was observed, and for protons a resolution of ±6% at 60 GeV/ c could be achieved. The absolute fwhm rises slowly with energy from 4.5 GeV/ c at 10 GeV/ c to 7.2 GeV/ c at 60 GeV/ c . The fraction of the energy deposited in the scintillator by incident π + and e + is on the average 9% and 50% higher than that deposited by protons.
