Abstract
A scintillating fibre detector for relativistic heavy ions with an act ive area of 50 x 50 cm(2) has been developed and was tested with vario us ion beams (1 less than or equal to Z less than or equal to 92). At count rates of up to 10(5) particles/s, the position resolution was fo und to be determined by the fibre width of 1 mm; depending on the nucl ear charge of the beam, efficiencies between 89% and 100% and time res olutions between 800 and 200 ps (FWHM) were obtained.
