TB is situated at a radius of 2.36 m, surrounding the solenoid. It is made up
of 160 scintillation counters, which are trapezoidal in shape. Each one is 6.84
m in length, 45 mm in depth and ranges between 89 mm and 91 mm in width. The
tiles form a layer that covers a solid angle range of
.
The time resolution of TB is approximately 300 ps and the difference in time
between the signal arriving at each end of the counter is used to make a
-position measurement.
