Development of a Fast, Fine-Grained, Scintillating Fiber Hodoscope for Use in Advanced Detector Systems for High-Energy-Physics Research. Technical Progress Report, June 1, 1983-May 31, 1984

摘要

This report will indicate the progress made since the last report in the following categories of activity: (1) procurement of a stock of acceptable plastic scintillator perform; (2) improvements in the technique and quality control of drawing and cladding scintillating fibers; (3) fabrication of the bilayer ribbon hodoscope; (4) operation of a prototype hodoscope at the AGS; (5) software development for data acquisition; (6) preparation of an efficient optical coupling between the scintillating fiber and the photo-detector; and (7) determination of the feasibility of the Avalanche Photodiode (APD) as a photo-detector.
