Abstract
A system is described for collecting light from the cells of a plastic scintillation counter calorimeter by means of light guides containing a fluorescent radiation converter. Light from a group of scintillators is absorbed, isotropically re-radiated and guided to a photomultiplier tube within a single polished acrylic rod which passes through a circular hole in each cell. Evaluation of this method was carried out with a test apparatus in secondary pion and electron beams at the CERN PS and SPS. The apparatus consists of a photon and a hadron calorimeter. A two-color system was used to distinguish electromagnetic and hadronic showers in the calorimeters. Results of these tests are presented together with an evaluation of the properties of some commercially available materials relevant to this application.
