Zusammenfassung:A hodoscope prototype to detect charged particles in the NA62 experiment at CERN SPS has been installed within the experimental setup in 2014 and exposed to the beam during the data taking period. Efficiency and time resolution for hodoscope tiles are measured. The average signal amplitude (proportional to the light yield) is estimated from the efficiency curves. The results of the tests have lead to several improvements in the final design of the hodoscope.
