Description
The SHiP experiment is a new general purpose fixed target experiment proposed at the CERN SPS accelerator. The experiment will comprise a compact tau neutrino detector and a detector to search for hidden particles. Background rejection is ensured by use of background taggers and a dedicated timing detector. The timing detector will reduce combinatorial di-muon background by requiring incoming particles to be coincident in time within 100 ps. One option for the timing detector consists of columns of horizontal scintillating bars read-out on each end by Silicon Photomultiplier arrays. This study focus on the time resolution of such plastic scintillating bars as would be relevant to the SHiP experiment.
