Abstract
Prototype test results are reported from the NA48 K(S) tagging system. Thin scintillator foils were arranged as two staircases intersecting in space. A geometric alignment to 0.4 mrad, a light yield of 300-400 photoelectrons and a time resolution of 70-90 ps with conventional TDC s were achieved. A FADC system operating at 450 megasamples/s performe d at 50 ps intrinsic time resolution. Overlapping pulses could be reso lved down to 7 ns.
