Abstract
Abstract In a test run, the experimental time-of-flight resolution was measured for several different scintillation counters of small (10 × 5 cm2) and large (100 × 15 cm2 and 75 × 25 cm2) area. The design characteristics were decided on the basis of theoretical Monte Carlo calculations. We report results using twisted, fish-tail, and rectangular light-guides and different types of scintillator (NE114 and PILOT U). Time resolution up to ∼130−150 ps fwhm for the small counters and up to ∼280−300 ps fwhm for the large counters were obtained. The spatial resolution from time measurements in the large counters is also reported. The results of Monte Carlo calculations on the type of scintillator, the shape and dimensions of the light-guides, and the nature of the external wrapping surfaces — to be used in order to optimize the time resolution — are also summarized.
