A large area plastic scintillation detector with 4-corner-readout

A 760 mm × 760 mm× 30 mm plastic scintillation detector viewed by photomultiplier tubes （PMTs） from four corners has been developed, and the detector has been tested with cosmic rays and γrays. A position- independent effective time Teff has been found, indicating this detector can be used as a TOF...

Summary:A 760 mm × 760 mm× 30 mm plastic scintillation detector viewed by photomultiplier tubes （PMTs） from four corners has been developed, and the detector has been tested with cosmic rays and γrays. A position- independent effective time Teff has been found, indicating this detector can be used as a TOF detector. The hit position can also be reconstructed by the time from the four corners.A. TOF resolution of 236 ps and a position resolution of 48 mm have been achieved, and the detection efficiency has also been investigated.
