Abstract
The design and performance of the main time-of-flight hodoscope used i n the E877 spectrometer at the BNL-AGS are presented. The hodoscope co vers an area of 0.70 x 2.00 m(2). It is made of 150 scintillator count ers viewed by phototubes at each end. The detectors are mounted in an are and arranged to eliminate gaps between the counters. An average ti me resolution of 85 ps has been measured over the entire hodoscope. (C ) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
