The “long slab” is a new prototype for the SiW-Ecal, a silicon tungsten electromagnetic calorimeter for the International Large Detector (ILD) at the future International Linear Collider (ILC). The new prototype has been evaluated with cosmics, radioactive sources and with 3 GeV electrons in beam tests at the DESY facility, Hamburg. A channel-wise calibration has been achieved, at different angles of incidence of the beam on the sensors. Using data collected at non-normal incidence, the signal of particles traversing adjacent pixels were used to estimate the absolute value of the trigger threshold in units of mips. This new prototype provides us many hints on how to improve the design of the front-end electronics. It is also a convenient tool to estimate the critical characteristics of ILD SiW-Ecal (like power consumption, cooling, readout time, etc.) and to optimise the future design of the detector.
