Abstract :
Usual TOP (time of propagation) detectors have several disadvantages. We propose a new TOP detector which overcomes those by using clear fibers (these have high transparency than general optical fibers). We performed Monte Carlo simulations with Geant4 and tested a prototype with e+ of 0.7 to 1.0 GeV at SPring8 BR33LEP beam line. We propose this detector to E-36 experiment at J-PARC.
