Abstract:The results of testing of the full scale prototype of a profile-based shower maximum detector with external pick-up pads for the endcap EMC for the STAR experiment at RHIC are presented. It is shown the plastic streamer tubes with coverless profile operating in proportional mode with low gain are suitable basic unit for shower maximum detector.
