Abstract
A calorimeter for the detection of gammas and light charged particles is devised within the R3B setup. It features a high resolution, large absorption efficiency and a good gamma sum energy resolution and multiplicity determination. In the article we include a brief description of the proposed calorimeter geometry, the simulation package developed for the analysis of the calorimeter response and the first crystal tests performed in our laboratory at the USC.
