Possible scintillator hardware

The "Plan B" design requires:

• Total: 136x 10 cm x 10 cm "thick" bars

108   10 cm  x 10 cm x 160 cm   E counters (top + bottom)
 28   10 cm  x 10 cm x 160 cm   analyzer bars

• Total: 80x 1 cm x 10 cm "thin" bars

 52    1 cm  x 10 cm x 160 cm   dE  (top + bottom)
 28    1 cm  x 10 cm x 160 cm   analyzer vetos

• All bars are double-ended readout.

Existing Scintillator Bars

BLAST bars (some from PSI LADS detector)

 Ohio walls: 16x      10 cm x 22.5 cm    x 400 cm
 LADS15:     28x      15 cm x 14.5 cm(*) x 160 cm
 LADS20:·    28x      20 cm x  9.8 cm(*) x 160 cm
 (*) bars are trapezoidal shaped; this is mid-point thickness

• Availability: Yes (needs to be shipped to Kent St/JLab)
• Location: BATES
• Contact: Michael Kohl
• References: NIM A 603 (2009) 247–262 (BLAST detector), NIM A 373 ( 1996) 374-38 (PSI LADS reference)
• Notes:
  • Bars would need to be cut and polished
  • The LADS bars are trapezoidal; they can be stacked into planes by alternating the 'wedge' direction
  • Needs new PMTs

"BigBite" HAND

 32x   10 cm x 10  cm  x  100 cm
 32x   10 cm x 12.5cm  x  100 cm
 12x   10 cm x 15  cm  x  100 cm
 12x   15 cm x 25  cm  x  100 cm
 32x    2 cm x 11  cm  x  100 cm

• Availability: Yes
• Location: JLab ESB
• Contact: Doug Higinbotham
• Reference: Wermus Tech Note
• Notes:
  • These are available now
  • Will likely need to replace most of the (3") PMTs

GEn E02-013 BigHAND neutron array

UVa:      100x     10 cm x 10 cm x 160 cm
Glasgow:   24x     10 cm x 20 cm x 180 cm
CMU:      120x      5 cm x 15 cm x 180 cm

• Availability: ??? (there are plans to use the BigHAND array in Hall A)
• Location: Bldg 64 (tent at NE corner of Accel area)
• Contacts: Mixed: UVa (Donal Day), CMU (G. Franklin?), Glasgow (J. Annand); Bogdan, Albert (JLab)
• Reference: BigHAND Geometry], General Documentation]
• Notes:
  • These are still stored in the BigHAND cartridges in Bldg 64
  • PMT status TBD
  • At our 2013 collaboration meeting Donal mentioned the UVa bars are still available and are still under UVa ownership.
