Abstract
The simulation results of the timing properties of a plastic scintillator are reported, when it is read by the WLS fiber. For the sake of completeness, we are beforehand with a simplified formula describing the light propagation in a fiber, and thereafter present the simulation results as the distributions for t1-t0 as well as t1+t2 to see the time resolution with t1 and t2 the times appeared at both fiber ends and t0 at the trigger source. The simulations were made for two different WLS fibers, Y11 and BCF92, to see the influence of radiation time on the time resolution.
