The calibration experiment is described of a full absorption Cerenkov counter made of lead glass for energy measurements of gamma quanta and electrons with energies of several Bev. The counter has been tested by monoenergetic electrons within the energy range between 0.5 and 3.0 Bev. The Cerenkov counter pulse amplitude versus electron energy follows a linear law within the indicated energy range. The energy resolution of the spectrometer, determined as the ratio of pulse amplitude distribution curve half-width to pulse amplitude at the distribution maximum, for 1.0 Bev electrons has been measured to be 29%.
