Abstract
The final design of the NA48 tagging system is described and a discuss ion of the 1992 test run results for the detector prototype is present ed. A time resolution of about 90 ps is obtained with standard electro nics, and a light yield of 300-400 p.e. is measured. A 450 MHz 6 bit F ADC system has been designed and tested. This system has shown an intr insic time resolution of 50 ps, and a double pulse resolution of 7 ns. A high precision alignment procedure allows to achieve a detector eff iciency consistent with 100%. The technical and mechanical features of the design are well suited for the purpose of the experiment.
