A SCINTILLATING-FIBER HODOSCOPE USING A POSITION-SENSITIVE PHOTOMULTIPLIER

Along with recent progress in the scintillating-fibre technique, the readout device is also gaining increasing importance in the field of detector research and development. In this article we present a prototype scintillating-fibre hodoscope read out with a position-sensitive photomultiplier, which demonstrates a good performance for a variety of applications such as particle physics and biological imaging. A new method of handling, in real time, the space information coming from such types of modern photomultiplier tubes, is also presented.
