Abstract

The simulation study of the light yield and attenuation in the plastic scintillator was performed. The wavelength shifting fiber readout was embedded in the grooves machined along the entire strip surface. The scintillator strips was irradiated with a radiation source ⁹⁰Sr or cosmic muons along and across the strip.
