Accurate time measurements with plastic scintillation counters

A plastic scintillation counter, with a useful areaof 24×25 cm 2 and a resolution of 290 ps (fwhm) for determining the time of impact of a minimum ionizing particle, is described. The resolution may be brought down to 100 ps with smaller counters. Lower time spreads are obtained with more ionizing p...
