The performance of scintillating fibre detectors was studied with electrons at the spectrometer facility of the Mainz microtron MAMI, as well as in a C-12 beam of 2AGeV energy and in a beam of different particle species at GSI. Multi-anode photomultipliers were used to read out one or more bundles of 128 fibres each in different geometries. For electrons a time resolution of FWHM similar to 1 ns was measured in a single detector plane with a detection efficiency epsilon > 99%. A time resolution of 310 ps (FWHM) between two planes of fibres was achieved for carbon ions, leading to a FWHM similar to 220 ps for a single detector. The hit position residual was measured with a width of FWHM = 0.27 mm. The variation in the measured energy deposition was Delta E/E = 15-20% (FWHM) for carbon ions. In addition, the energy response to p/pi(+)/d particles was studied. Based on the good detector performance fibre hodoscopes will be constructed for the K-AOS/A1 spectrometer at MAMI and for the HypHI experiment at GSI. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
