Abstract

A scintillating fibre hodoscope was developed for application in a high rate environment such as the central region of external beam experiments. It accommodates rates of several 10 6 s −1 per fibre channel while maintaining a time resolution of about 400 ps . Its central elements are highly efficient radiation-hard scintillating fibres and a photomultiplier tube capable of operating at such rates without appreciable loss of signal amplitude.
