High-time-resolution counters based on plastic scintillator with silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) readout have been developed for applications to high energy physics experiments for which relatively large-sized counters are required.We have studied counter sizes up to 120 × 40 × 5 mm3 with series connection of multiple SiPMs to increase the...

In this paper, we introduce the positron timing counter (TC) for the MEG II experiment as an application of Silicon PhotoMultipliers (SiPM) to high-resolution timing measurement. MEG II will search for the μ → eγ decay and needs a precise measurement of the positron timing. The TC is segmented in 512 counters, composed of a scintillator plate...
