Abstract
Measurements on two pin-diodes (Centronix : OSD 5–3, HP : 5082 – 4207) and an avalanche photodiode (RCA : C 30 872) are being performed to estimate their response to scintillation light in plastic.

For all diodes we used the same voltage-sensitive preamplifier. Following the preamplifier a Canberra 2010 Spectroscopy amplifier with 2 µsec shaping time was in line with the pulse-height analyser.
