A proton tagging detector for the NA48 experiment

The concept of KS proton tagging and first prototype test results are reported from the NA48 experiment. Thin scintillator foils were arranged as two staircases intersecting in space. A geometric alignment to 0.4 mrad, a light yield of 300–400 photoelectrons and a time resolution of 70–90 ps with co...

Description
Summary:The concept of KS proton tagging and first prototype test results are reported from the NA48 experiment. Thin scintillator foils were arranged as two staircases intersecting in space. A geometric alignment to 0.4 mrad, a light yield of 300–400 photoelectrons and a time resolution of 70–90 ps with conventional TDCs were achieved. A FADC system operating at 450 megasamples/s performed at 50 ps intrinsic time resolution. Overlapping pulses could be resolved down to 7 ns.
