Popis: A design of an ionization calorimeter in which scintillation fibers oriented in three mutually orthogonal directions are used as a detecting system is proposed. Such a device can be employed in satellite-borne experiments aimed at studying high-energy cosmic rays. This scheme makes it possible to reconstruct the primary-particle energy for any track direction, this ensuring a large geometric factor. A high spatial resolution enables one to separate the electromagnetic and hadron components by the shape of the cascade.
