Time-Of-Flight Wall (FS-TOF)

A wall of slabs made of plastic scintillator and read out on both ends by fast photo tubes will serve as time-of-flight stop counter placed about 6.9 m from the target. In addition, similar detectors will be placed inside the dipole magnet opening to detect low momentum particles which do not exit the dipole magnet. With time resolution of 50-100 ps, pion-kaon and kaon-proton separation on a 3-sigma level will be possible up to momenta of 2.8 GeV /c and 4.7 GeV /c, respectively.
