Abstract
The concept of K-S proton tagging and first prototype test results are reported from the NA48 experiment. Thin scintillator foils were arran ged as two staircases intersecting in space. A geometric alignment to 0.4 mrad, a light yield of 300-400 photoelectrons and a time resolutio n of 70-90 ps with conventional TDCs were achieved. A FADC system oper ating at 450 megasamples/s performed at 50 ps intrinsic time resolutio n. Overlapping pulses could be resolved down to 7 ns.
