Abstract

A 10-counter plastic scintillator hodoscope to measure pulse height, timing and position is described. The spatial, timing and pulse height resolutions were measured in a number of tests, and the mass resolution is discussed. The spatial resolution using the time-difference technique (0.7 cm fwhm for 100 MeV α-particles) is roughly a factor of 1.8 better than the resolution using the ratio-of-pulse-height method for these counters.
