Description

This study characterizes a particle detector prototype based on 7mm width plastic scintillator bars coupled to wavelength-shifting (WLS) fibers and SiPM readout. To validate the detector response, we measured the energy deposition of 150 GeV/c electrons, muons-, and negative pions from the H4 beamline at the CERN SPS. The experimental results are benchmarked against analytical models (Landau–Vavilov–Bichsel) and Geant4 Implementation.
