Initial tests of a high resolution Scintillating Fibre (SCIFI) tracker
Abstract
We present our initial measurements of high resolution particle tracking in scintillating fibre (SCIFI) detectors. The scintillator under study is a glass, designated GS1, which is doped with the cerium (Ce 3+) emitter. We conclude from our measurements that present SCIFI detectors can be successfully used as small-volume "active" targets, but that further developments are necessary before this technique can be applied to high precision tracking in collider detectors.
