Development of novel particle detector with multi pixel photon counter readout

The purpose of this study is to develop a new muon beam monitor for MUon Science Innovative Channel (MUSIC) project at Osaka University. It was a prototype with the dimension of 20x20x1cm3 plastic scintillating counter with wavelength shifting fibers (WLS-Fi) readout to alternate the particle beam t...
