This document presents experimental results obtained from tests using the EURISYS MESURES 4 fold segmented Super Clover detector 101 of the VEGA-array (Versatile and Efficient GAmma Detctor). The first Clover detector was developed in France by EURISYS MESURES in the frame of the EUROGAM collaboration. It consists of four coaxial N-type Germanium detectors, arranged like a four leaf clover. Each Germanium crystal has a length of 140 mm and a square front face with two flat parts at along the whole length and two tapered parts at an angle of (see figureA.6 and figureA.7). The tests were performed at the Gesellschaft für Schwerionenforschung (GSI) in Darmstadt, Germany. The detector was delivered to the GSI laboratory in April 1997.
This document reports information regarding the detector performance characteristics including energy and time resolution, absolute photopeak efficiency and peak-to-total (P/T) mesurements.
The labelling scheme used within this report to refer to segment positions in the clover is illustrated in figure1.1.

detector
For the segmented Clover the outer p-type contact of each of the crystals is segmented longitudinally to split the detector in four quarters. In addition to the four full volume signals delivered from the inner contact (1=red, 2=green, 3=black 4=blue), there are nine position signals shown as P1 to P9 in figure1.1.
