Description

We present the results obtained from measurements of the arrival time of hadronic particles in a segmented scintillator-uranium calorimeter which was equipped with dedicated time fo flight scintillator hodoscopes in depths of 0.75, 1.5, 2.25, 3.0 and 4.5 λint. Gaussian shaped time resolutions with σ∼90 ps were obtained with π- beams of 30 GeV/c and 70 GeV/c momentum. We discuss to what extent non-Gaussian tails can be removed while keeping a reasonably high efficiency. (orig.)
