Abstract We report on the construction and test of a lead-scintillating fiber ( spaghetti ) calorimeter built to fill the gap between endcaps and barrel in the L3 BGO detector. Results from test-beam, as well as MC simulations for the prototypes and for the full detector, are presented.

The BaBar Drift Chamber is now under construction. We review its design, the progress in the construction of the components, the plan for assembly and stringing and we present test results obtained with a prototype exposed at SLAC to cosmic rays. We also report on projected dE/dx performance from beam tests done with a chamber with a different cell design.

A variety of background detectors were installed at the interaction point of PEP-II for measurements of machine backgrounds during commissioning. Results from these detectors, machine experiments, and simulations have been used to reduce the backgrounds at PEP-II before the installation of the BaBar physics detector.

The BaBar Drift Chamber is now under construction. We review its design, the progress in the construction of the components, the plan for assembly and stringing and we present test results obtained with a prototype exposed at SLAC to cosmic rays. We also report on projected dE/dx performance from beam tests done with a chamber with a different cell design.

A lead-scintillating fiber calorimeter has been built to fill the gap between endcap and barrel of the L3 BGO electromagnetic calorimeter. We report details of the construction, as well as results from test-beam and simulation.

Completion of the L3 e.m. calorimeter with a lead-scintillating fibers spaghetti calorimeter

G. Basti; A. Boucham; M. Campanelli; C. Cecchi; F. De Notaristefani; M. Diemoz; F. Ferroni; A. Iaciofano; B. Janssen; Y. Karyotakis; M. Lebeau; J. Lesueur; E. Longo; Giovanni Organtini; Y. Tsipolitis

We report on the test-beam results for three prototype modules of a lead-scintillating fiber ( spaghetti ) calorimeter. We studied linearity, energy resolution and light collection. The results are in agreement with expectations from MC simulation. We also report on the studies for the optimal light guide to be used in the final design.
