Sumario: | In the framework of the RD-17 project at CERN extensive work is in progresson the development of scintillating-fibre detectors using position-sensitive photomultipliers. With o.5 mm diameter fibres as spatial resolution of about 125 µm was obtained with a detection efficiency higher than 95%. The time resolution of the detector is about 600 ps, and the track position is properly digitized in real time in less than 10 ns by a peak sensing circuit. A simulation, based on experimental data, was also performed to compare different types of front-end electronics. |
