摘要：

We describe a method for calibration and test of large-area TOF counters using cosmic radiation. We applied the method to the time-of-flight system of the DELPHI detector at the LEP e+e- storage ring, made of scintillation (NE110) counters (20 × 350 cm2). The photomultipliers used (EMI 9902KB) reach an average gain of 5×108 at 1700 V and the time resolution achieved is 1.2 ns. Using this method we measured the counter efficiencies as a function of the position; we obtained 135 cm for the effective attenuation length and 40 photoelectrons for a minimum-ionizing particle crossing the center of the counter. © 1990.
