Sumario:The pre-series modules of the future ATLAS liquid argon electromagnetic calorimeter (the LHC project) have been tested in 1999-2000 with electron beams at CERN SPS. Detailed results of these tests are presented, including the performance of ATLAS-like electronics. Energy resolution of better than 9.5%/ root E (barrel) and 10.5-12.5%/ root E (end-cap) is obtained. Angular resolution measured ( asymptotically equal to 50 mrad/ root E, end-cap) also fits to physics requirements.
