Study of Scintillating Fibers for a High Resolution Time of Flight System at the SSC
Abstract We are studying properties of plastic scintillating fibers with the aim of constructing a Time of Flight system with very good time resolution (50 psec) and with high spatial segmentation. Such a system could be valuable at the SSC for two applications: 1) as a component of a first level trigger allowing the fast computation of the number of charged tracks and 2) for separating multiple events from the same bunch crossing. It would also be a valuable device for particle identification at a B-meson factory. The status of the project is being presented. Good time resolution requires a short decay time and a high light yield for the scintillator. We have measured the decay times for different samples of scintillating fibers. Photodetectors with small transit time spread, e.g. fast photomultiplier tubes or microchannel plates, will be needed.
