The BESIII experiment based at the BEPCII e+e collider (Beijing, China) is investigating physics in the charm-τ region. Processes in which the particles emission peaks towards small polar angles, such as photons from initial state radiation (ISR) or scattered leptons from γ γ collisions, are detected with limited efficiency.

In order to improve their detections, we propose two small calorimeters placed at the very forward/backward angles. Each detector is composed of two arrays of 4x3 rectangular-shaped scintillating LYSO crystals, separated by a gap. The scintillation light will be collected by silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs) and the signals will be digitized using sampling Analog-to-Digital Converters (ADC).

In this contribution, we present a performance study of the detectors, based on a Geant4 simulation of BESIII, as well as the results from the tests of the LYSO crystals and the read-out electronics using radioactive sources and electron beams at the MAMI accelerator.
