There is a trend that pulse height slightly increases with sensor’s length for 3M radiant mirror film and Teflon. 3. 3M radiant mirror film covered scintillators using 1.6mmΦ WLS fiber had about 100% greater pulse height compared to scintillators with 1.0mmΦ fiber.

Position dependence along the strip scintillator showed the uniformity of light transmission from the sensor to PMT for 3M radiant mirror film and teflon wrapped scintillators. 5. ‘dip’ is 40% corresponds to scint. thickness(300microns) for 1.6mmΦ fiber 6.
