Abstract
This paper describes an investigation into time tags in PMMA at temper atures up to 160 degrees C. A 0.5/5000 mu s impulse waveform was used. Below 80 degrees C the time lags were of the order of a few microseco nds, but at higher temperatures time lags of hundreds of microseconds were recorded. The results are discussed in terms of Artbauer's recent theory.
