An electromagnetic scintillation calorimeter using liquid krypton or xenon as the working medium has been built. The calorimeter consists of 45 tapered light-collecting cells with dimensions of (2.1 x 2.1) x 40 x (4.15 x 4.15) cm made from aluminum-coated mylar film 50 mum thick. The light from each cell is detected by photomultipliers. The calorimeter filled with liquid krypton was exposed to a beam of secondary particles with a momentum of 400 MeV/c from the ITEP accelerator. The results of the first test are given.
The influence of 1.7–5.3% Xe doping on LKr scintillation decay times is observed. The decay times of τ1 = 8.7±0.6 ns, gt2 = 29±
