The CHORUS Collaboration is presently building a new detector for the search of nu(mu)-nu(tau) oscillations in the CERN neutrino beam, the experiment being sensitive to a mixing angle an order of magnitude smaller than the present limit. The basic components of the CHORUS ''hybrid'' detector are an active target made of nuclear emulsions, an air core spectrometer with scintillating fiber tracking, a high resolution calorimeter and a muon spectrometer. An account is given here of the design of the 110-tons compensating calorimeter, made of 1 mm diameter scintillating fibers embedded in a lead matrix, and of the test results from the first modules produced.

Abstract
The CHORUS Collaboration is presently building a new detector for the search of nu(mu)-nu(tau) oscillations in the CERN neutrino beam, the experiment being sensitive to a mixing angle an order of magnitude smaller than the present limit. The basic components of the CHORUS ''hybrid'' detector are an active target made of nuclear emulsions, an air core spectrometer with scintillating fiber tracking, a high resolution calorimeter and a muon spectrometer. An account is given here of the design of the 110-tons compensating calorimeter, made of 1 mm diameter scintillating fibers embedded in a lead matrix, and of the test results from the first modules produced.
