Development of a compact scintillator hodoscope with wavelength-shifting fibre read-out
We report on the prototyping of a plastic scintillator hodoscope with wavelengthshifting 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 singleand double-clad wavelength-shifting fibres were performed. Low power, low-threshold, discriminators were des...

A large acceptance scintillator detector with wavelength shifting optical fibre readout has been designed and built to detect the decay particles of η-nucleus bound system (the so-called η-mesic nuclei), namely, protons and pions. The detector, named as ENSTAR detector, consists of 122 pieces of plastic scintillator of various shapes and sizes, which are arranged in a cylindrical geometry to pr...
متن کاملLarge - Area Scintillator Hodoscope with 50 ps Timing Resolution Onboard BESS
We describe the design and performance of a large-area scintillator hodoscope onboard the BESS rigidity spectrometer; an instrument with an acceptance of 0.3 msr. The hodoscope is configured such that 10 and 12 counters are respectively situated in upper and lower layers. Each counter is viewed from its ends by 2.5 inch finemesh photomultiplier tubes placed in a stray magnetic field of 0.2 Tesl...
متن کاملImproving the IceCube sensitivity with a wavelength shifting optical module
The research presented in this paper is aimed towards investigating the feasibility of using a wavelength-shifter as sensitive surface for the detection of Cherenkov light. Thereto an experimental setup was used in conjunction with a Geant4 simulation of the setup. An extensive calibration allowed to unambiguously detect Cherenkov radiation and compare efficiencies between different measurement...
متن کاملTwo-wavelength phase shifting interferometry.
This paper describes a technique that combines ideas of phase shifting interferometry (PSI) and two-wavelength interferometry (TWLI) to extend the phase measurement range of conventional single-wavelength PSI. To verify theoretical predictions, experiments have been performed using a solid-state linear detector array to measure 1-D surface heights. Problems associated with TWLPSI and the experi...
