Extruded plastic counters with WLS fiber readout
Extruded plastic scintillation counters with WLS fiber readout are described. For a 7 mm thick counter with 4.3 m long double-clad fibers spaced at 7 mm a light yield of 18.7 photoelectrons/MeV and a time resolution of 0.71 ns ( σ) were obtained.

| Summary: | Extruded plastic scintillation counters with WLS fiber readout are described. For a
7
mm
thick counter with
4.3
m
long double-clad fibers spaced at
7
mm
a light yield of 18.7 photoelectrons/MeV and a time resolution of
0.71
ns
(
σ) were obtained. A prototype photon veto module consisting of 10 layers of
7
mm
thick grooved plastic slabs interleaved with
1
mm
lead sheets was also tested, which yielded 122 photoelectrons per minimum ionizing particle and time resolution of
360
ps
