Abstract

Preliminary results of a study for a scintillator detector with a position sensitive capabilities are presented here. The first tests have been performed with a 7 mm thick plastic scintilator and 256-channel Multi-Anode Photomultiplier Tube (MAPMT). The study shows that good position resolution is in reach.
