Abstract：
A 760 mm×760 mm×30 mm plastic scintillation detector viewed by photomultiplier tubes(PMTs) from four corners has been developed, and the detector has been tested with cosmic rays and γ rays. A position-independent effective time T_eff has been found, indicating this detector can be used as a TOF detector. The hit position can also be reconstructed by the time from the four corners. A TOF resolution of 236 ps and a position resolution of 48 mm have been achieved, and the detection efficiency has also been investigated.
