Abstract
We outline briefly the general structure of the Aleph detector, to place in context conceptually and physically the electromagnetic calorimeter. The calorimeter is then described, emphasizing the read-out mechanical and electronic structure, which allows adequate granularity; three layers of towers 3×3 cm2, approximately 210 000 pieces of analog information. We discuss the basic properties of such apparatus with the results of tests performed on a prototype. We emphasize the peculiarities of operating such a wire gas calorimeter in a strong magnetic field parallel to the wires.
