6. Response for MIP Variation of strip by strip Number of events (log scale) Signal (ADC counts) All collected events MIP events Extruded scintillator strip ＋ reflector film good matching These plots show the variation of strip by strip is big. There are 4 results since we’ve prepared 4 strips read out per one layer.

7. Uniformity extruded TiO 2 No fiber extruded TiO 2 good matching extruded reflector bad matching extruded reflector good matching extruded TiO 2 Kuraray reflector thickness:2mm Kuraray reflector Kuraray reflector reference Beam position (mm) Signal (ADC counts)

8. Beam position (mm)Signal (ADC counts) Uniformity Variation of strip by strip Extruded scintilattor strip ＋ reflector film good matching These plots show the variations of the uniformity aren’t so big. However light yields aren’t same.

10. Conclusion The position of fiber and MPPC is important. →We asked KNU to make extruded scintillator strips with the precise size of fiber hole and position. Reflector film works better than TiO 2. →We asked KNU to make scintiilator stirip without TiO 2. Direct photons may cause significant non-uniformity. →Bench test has been done.

MIP selection MIP selected strip spacer Only pedestal signal For the selected strip, MIP event must satisfy following conditions: ・ In the same layer, strips show the pedestal signal but the selected strip. ・ In the front and the rear layer, the strips at same position of the selected strip show the MIP signal.
