Status• 0.8mm thick, 10mm width,
and flat acrylic plate is considered to be the best.
• Fiber distribution has been done.
• Now trying the system with two layers (twin, as follows)
With only 1 layer
LEDAcrylic plate (27.0cm long)
Fiber Distribution
Clear fiberThere are 20 fibers per a bundle.
LED direction toward each fiber varies.
Amount of LED light greatly depends on the direction.
Compared Np.e. of the ‘closest’ fiber to the light axis with one of the ‘farthest’.

Tracing Paper• In order to reduce the dispersion due to the LED direction,
pinched the tracing paper between LED and fiber.

Summary & Plans• Np.e. depends on which fiber we use.• Np.e. of the scintilator far from the LED is very small. (Ab
out half of the signal is dark noise. )• There isn’t a significant difference between direct and fib
er in the latter 9cm.• Tracing paper isn’t effective. Need something thicker.
• Determine the number of CMB by this weekend.
