Abstract

Two highly segmented plastic-scintillator arrays have been developed for proton detection in electron scattering experiments. The detectors subtend solid angles of 225 and 550 msr and cover energy ranges of 50-225 and 25-165 MeV, respectively. The charge and arrival time of each photomultiplier signal are digitized by flash ADCs and temporarily stored in a dual-port memory. The readout parameters are computer controlled, tuned, and monitored. These detectors have been employed in (e, e′p) and (e, e′pp) experiments for proton emission angles greater than 30° and for luminosities up to 10
