The RD52 calorimeter is an instrument intended to detect both electromagnetic and hadronic showers, as well muons, using the dual-readout principle. Scintillation Cherenkov light provide two signals which, in combination, allow for superior performance. In this paper, we report on performance of instrument, compare with that other calorimeters were constructed similar goals mind.
