Abstract

The work is dedicated to the discussion of four new types of large-area scintillation counters design intended for detection of EAS and the use in the guard systems of experimental physics setups with low-cost production. The solid counters based on scintillating polystyrene plates are produced by melting clear polystyrene granules with additives in a mirror mold. Other counters are based on lentil-like polystyrene scintillation granules which are a new kind of plastic scintillators produced at IHEP. WLS fibers and SiPM as a photo sensor are used for a light detection. The dimensions of the tested detectors were 500 × 500 and to 1000 × 1000 mm2, their measured light output was up to 180 ph.e.
