An intense R&D program has been carried out by the NOE Collaboration during the last years, to develop a massive
"ne grain scintillating "ber calorimeter, to be used, in combination with an appropriate target, in a Long Base Line
experiment at the CERN to Gran Sasso (CNGS) neutrino beam. The performance of a 4 ton NOE calorimeter prototype
exposed to a test beam at CERN PS is shown. Results on the linearity, electromagnetic and hadronic energy resolution
are reported and compared with the Monte Carlo predictions.
