Development of thin plastic scintillation counter for low energy muon experiment at MuSIC

MuSIC is a highly intense muon facility which was constructed at RCNP, Osaka University and officially operated since 2009. MuSIC was equipped with a superconducting solenoid at the pion capture system a muon yield up to 108 muons/sec is available. The thin counters with dimension of 30 mm x 380 mm x 0.5 mm has been developed for low energy muon experiment at the MuSIC 5th beam test. Each counter was attached with a wavelength shifting fiber (WLS) and MPPC for readout. Several tests and experiments were done in order to achieve best position resolution with thin plastic scintillation counter for medium energy muon experiment. (author)
