Abstract

A fast and precise scintillating fiber (SciFi) hodoscope based on KURARAY SciFi and HAMAMATSU multianode H6568 tubes was constructed to be used in DIRAC experiment (PS-212) at CERN for tracking and topological triggering information. The front-end electronics was custom developed to allow on-line discrimination after built-in dynamic cross-talk rejection. Preliminary tests of the detector using more than 300 read-out channels have shown an excellent stability and optimum performance for this system: a uniform detection efficiency of 98%, a 125 μm single hit and ∼0.5 mm two-hit space resolution, 0.6 ns time resolution.
