Abstract
In the framework of the RD-17 project at CERN an extensive work is in progress on the development of scintillating-fibre detectors using pos ition-sensitive photomultipliers. With 0.5 mm diameter fibres a spatia l resolution of about 125 mu m was obtained with a detection efficienc y higher than 95%. The time resolution of the detector is about 600 ps , and the track position is properly digitised in real time in less th an 10 ns by a peak sensing circuit. A simulation, based on experimenta l data, has also been performed to compare different types of front-en d electronics. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
