26 Mar 2004 | | Journal: | Nucl.Instrum.Meth. A539 (2005) 112-124 | | Subject: | nucl-ex | | Abstract: | We report on the prototyping of a plastic scintillator hodoscope with wavelength-shifting fibre read-out by a multi-anode photomultiplier as part of the development of a detector for cosmic ray muons to be carried aboard an aircraft. Light yield and light attenuation measurements on single- and double-clad wavelength-shifting fibres were performed. Low power, low-threshold, discriminators were designed. A prototype 16-channel hodoscope with two planes was built and tested with cosmic rays. After correcting for geometrical factors a global intrinsic efficiency of $epsilon > 98$ % was obtained in both planes. The overall performance of the hodoscope proved it to be well suited for the {sc Adler} experiment to measure the high altitude muon flux. | | Source: | arXiv, nucl-ex/0403053 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
