Abstract
We have investigated the timing properties of BC408 scintillator rods with a length of 2 m, a width of 4 cm, and thicknesses of 0.5, 1, 2, and 4 cm, for scintillation light produced by minimum ionizing particles crossing the thickness of the rods. A deterioration of the timing properties, inversely related to the rod thickness, has been observed for scintillation light produced far from the read-out phototube. The timing resolution worsens by nearly 2 ns/m for the thinnest rod.
