Sumario:A proposal is made for R&D support to investigate the ultimate resolution achievable in a totally active liquid Xenon (Krypton) electromagnetic calorimeter which should lead to the construction of a 100 (400) litre prototype. Detection of either ionization or scintillation gives excellent energy resolution (sigmaE/E le 1%/sqrtE) while ionization alone gives precise determination of the direction (order 1mr) and vertex origin (order 1mm) of a high energy photon or electron (E ge 25 GeV). Large surface area photocathodes have been developed which efficiently detect the fast scintillation signal.
