Fabrication and study of cylindrical scintillation counters of the ARES spectrometer
A method is described for fabricating 600 x 87 x 5 mm plastic scintillation counters which are constituent elements of a 673 mm in diameter cylindrical hodoscope. Results of investigations into the amplitude and temporal characteristics of a separate scintillation are presented. Light losses in the transitional and main lightguides were determined primarily by the absorption length of the organic glass. The time resolution of the counter with the beta source placed at the center of the scintillator equaled 1 nsec; the velocity of propagation of light in the scintillator equals 12.1 cm/nsec. The ARES spectrometer detects electrons and gamma rays under conditions of high meson-stopping intensity and will be used for pion and muon rare decay studies.
