Only one view of the calorimeter
prototype is equipped with fibers, PMTs and electronics.
This choice allows
to reduce substantially the prototype cost and is justified by the results
of the simulations.
As GEANT 3.21 based Monte
Carlo simulations confirms, instrumenting a single view,
the electromagnetic and
hadronic resolution is degraded by a factor sqrt(2).
This is clearly shown in
the figure where the simulated data concerning the electromagnetic and
hadronic energy resolution for one and two views instrumented calorimeter
are reported.

In the following, instead,
there are the measured one-view energy resolutions
(real data) obtained
by means of gaussian fits to the ADC spectra for pions
and electrons
respectively.
