Abstract: 
The electromagnetic calorimeter TAPS (Two/Three Arm Photon Spectrometer) - comprising in its present set-up 384 individual plastic-BaF2 scintillator telescopes - has been constructed to identify and measure hard photons and neutral mesons via the reconstruction of the invariant mass from their two or three photon decay modes. Photons can be detected up to an energy of 15 GeV with high resolution (sigma/E = 2.5% at 1 GeV). Neutrons and charged particles are identified by pulse-shape analysis (PSA) and time-of-flight techniques (TOF) with high efficiency. The optional modification into modular plastic/BaF2 phoswich telescopes allows improved particle spectroscopy at medium energies simultaneously.
