Cosmic-ray characterization of a timing detector based on extruded scintillators and wavelength-shifting fibers read-out through SiPMs

Abstract

Timing detectors based on extruded scintillators of different dimensions with different kinds of wavelength-shifting fibers read-out through SiPMs have been extensively tested using a cosmic ray telescope. Results in terms of light-yield, time resolutions and longitudinal coordinate resolutions are presented.
