摘要
A simple tracking system for measuring the K+ decay vertex along the beam axis in the T-Violation Experiment (E246) at KEK is described. It consists of 32 grooved BC408 plastic scintillator rings with embedded Y11 wavelength-shifting (WLS) optical fibers. Both ends of each multi-clad WLS fiber are directly viewed by a green-extended photomultiplier. Light yield of 46 photoelectrons per minimum ionizing particle in the 5 mm thick ring has been achieved. This configuration gives 1.7 mm position resolution determined purely by the 6 mm width of each ring. Time resolution of 1.0 ns and detection efficiency of 98.4% were obtained.
