  The calorimeter is built out of lead, plexi and glue [2] which are composed as follows:

• lead compound is made of Pb (95%) and Bi (5%),
• the scintillating fibers are made of Polystyrene (C₂H₃),
• the glue is a mixture of the epoxy resin (C₄H₄O, density = 1.14 g/cm³) and hardener (density = 0.95 g/cm³) constituting 72% and 28% of the mixture, respectively.
