We extend sincere thanks to Dr. SSuzuki, Prof. P.Picchi, Prof. L.Periale, Dr. L.Gatignon, and other staffs in CERN for their support in the accelerator experiments. We are indebted to the crew of the Sanriku Balloon Center, ISAS for the successful balloon flight. We express sincere thanks to the technical staffs in Kanagawa University for their helps in manufacturing of the detector. This work is partially supported by Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research (A) and International Scientific Research.

N2 - Performance of BETS detector as an electron imaging calorimeter was studied by electron and proton beams at CERN-SPS in 1996 and 1997. It is confirmed that the rejection power against proton backgrounds is better than 4×10 -4 in the energy range between 10 GeV and 100 GeV, the energy resolution ranges 15-18 %, and the angular resolution is 0°.8-1°.3. The balloon flights were carried out in 1995, 1997, and 1998 at the Sanriku Balloon Center in Japan. It is demonstrated in the flight data that the performance is adequate for observing electrons with reliable accuracy.
