The experimental data are collected at the H2 test-beam area at CERN, using a 150 GeV muon beam. In particular, we investigate the usage of over-doped and green-emitting plastic scintillators, two solutions that have not been extensively considered. We present a study of the energy distribution in plastic-scintillator tiles, the hit efficiency as a function of the hit position, and a study of the signal timing for blue and green scintillators.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCalorimetersRadiation-hard detectorsScintillators and scintillating fibres and light guidesArticle10.1088/1748-0221/13/01/P01002Q3WOS:000419392700001
