Development and Commissioning of the Timing Counter for the MEG Experiment

The Timing Counter of the MEG (Mu to Electron Gamma) experiment is designed to deliver trigger information and to accurately measure the timing of the in searching for the decay . It is part of a magnetic spectrometer with the decay target in the center. It consists of two sectors upstream and downstream the target, each one with two layers: the inner one made with scintillating fibers read out by...
