As the rates close to the photon beam line can be substantial it is necessary to investigate the consequences on the performance and lifetime of the scintillator itself and its readout devices.

Rate Estimates

The estimated rates in a given paddle depend on the upstream detector geometry and target material. Some estimates can be found in GlueX-DB 994.
