V. Agoritsas et al., SCINTILLATING-FIBER HODOSCOPES USING POSITION-SENSITIVE PHOTOMULTIPLIERS, Nuclear instruments & methods in physics research. Section A, Accelerators, spectrometers, detectors and associated equipment, 372(1-2), 1996, pp. 63-69
We present some of the recent results of an R&D program on scintillati
ng fibers readout by position-sensitive photomultiplier tubes. Conside
rable improvements have been achieved compared to the previous studies
, in particular in detection efficiency (>95%) and linearity. In addit
ion, a detailed study on two-hit resolution enabled us to confirm the
possibility of reconstructing double-hit events in real-time by using
the delay-line method.
