Abstract :
An innovative scintillation technique for high-energy collider detection is presented. A scintillation counter incorporating long scintillators with light guides, a drift chamber, and fast discriminators plus integrators was employed to resolve problems of correcting time walk and reducing the additional jitter by establishing an analytical waveform description of V(t,z) for a measured (z). The latter was accomplished by reducing jitter by compressing V(t,z) with a nonlinear medium, called cooling scintillation. Quantum fluctuations of luminescence were dealt with by orienting molecular and polarizing scintillation through the use of intense magnetic technology, called stabilizing the waveform
