LARGE-AREA PLASTIC SCINTILLATION COUNTER
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4089698
The construction and performance of a large-area plastic scintillation counter (50 x 80 x 2 cm/sup 3/) of especially simple design are described. Pulse- height spectra were measured with a beam of minimum ionizing particles hitting different points of the counter. The results are compared with theory. The percentage of light collection and the pulse height are calculated absolutely. The influence of magnetic fields on the performance was determined experimentally. A hundred of these counters are used in the CERN neutrino experiment to give the triggering signal for the spark chambers. (auth)
