- Electron reconstruction capability from 1-2 GeV (e from b-decays) up to 5 TeV (Z' and W'
decays)
- Exellent energy resolution over the energy range 10-300 GeV (to achieve 1% mass
resolution for H ->

and H -> 4e channels).
- Total thickness of at least 24 radiation lengths at

resolution from longitudinal fluctuations of high-energy showers (E>500 GeV) to an
acceptable level.
- Dynamic range 50 MeV (electronic noise per channel) to 3 TeV (e from decays of Z' and W'
with masses 5-6 TeV).
- Energy-scale precision 0.1% (200 MeV precision on the Higgs mass) Linearity of response
better than 0.5% (up to 300 GeV).
- Measurement of the shower direction e with a resolution of ~50 mrad/sqrt(E)

- Speed of response, noise, high granularity, bunch-crossing identification, neutron
fluences up to 1015 n/cm2 and rad.doses up to 200 kGy (over 10 years)...
