Abstract
A prototype of a scintillating fiber hodoscope was constructed with multi-c ladding scintillating fibers and a multi anode photomultiplier (H6568, HAMA MTSU). The hodoscope has a seven structure of a scintillating fiber with 0. 5 mm in diameter and stacked in closest packing in order to improve its eff iciency and time resolution. The hodoscope has been tested using a proton b eam. The time resolution of about 700 ps in FWHM has been obtained. (C) 199 9 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
