Abstract
The conceptual design for a novel SSC detector that focuses on calorimetry is presented. The physics goals include searches for elementary scalars of low mass (

H < 2

w) and high mass (
M
H > 600 GeV), for heavy supersymmetric matter, for compositeness and for strong vector-boson interactions. Examples of the relevant signatures are
H → γγ; H → ZZ

; and a jet excess at high

. These goals may be achieved with high precision, fast, compensated and hermetic calorimetry, optimized for electrons, photons, and jets. The design allows for total hermeticity to η = 5.5 missing energy. All the goals require operation at high luminosity and the additional concerns of γ-γ and jet-jet separation, as well as survival in a high radiation environment, are addressed by an unusually large inner radius of the detector. The detector concept consists of the following few and well defined components: a scintillating fiber tracking system incorporating an imaging preradiator, a projective, finely segmented, thick scintillator calorimeter; and a muon TRD trigger and spectrometer.
