Abstract
The Digital Hadron Calorimeter (DHCAL) 1m3 physics prototype was constructed and has been tested in particle beams. We report the preliminary results from the analysis of both positon and pion events of momenta between 2 and 60 GeV/c. These results are considered as a first validation of the DHCAL concept.
