Description
Summary:This paper presents the results of a study of the time resolution of the scintillation elements of a detector designed to measure the absolute luminosity at the interaction points at the MPD experiment at NICA, Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR) [1]. The measurements are carried out using cosmic rays. The correspondence of time resolution to the problems of measuring luminosity is discussed here. It is shown that the time resolution is consistent with the concept of the detector and ensures the measurement of the absolute luminosity, as well as the study of the beam longitudinal profile.
