A new charge measurement method,time over threshold(TOT),has been used in some gas detectors lately.Here TOT is studied for TOF system,made of plastic scintillator counter,which can simplify the electronics of the system.The signal characteristics are measured and analyzed with a high quality oscilloscope,including noise,pedestal,signal amplitude,total charge,rise time and the correlation between them.The TOT and charge are related and can be fitted by some empirical formula.The charge measurement resolution by TOT is given and this will help the design of TOF electronics.
