Abstract:Plastic scintillator detectors are widely used in high-energy physics, often as active neutrino target, both in long and short baseline neutrino oscillation experiments. They can provide 3D tracking with 4𝜋 coverage and calorimetry of the neutrino interaction final state combined with a very good particle identification, sub-nanosecond time resolution. Moreover, the large hydrogen content makes plastic scintillator detectors ideal for detecting neutrons. However, new experimental challenges and the need for e… Show more
