Abstract :
The Scintillating Fiber Imager reported last year was upgraded. The readout configuration and fiber size were optimized for Restriction Landmark Genomic Scanning (RLGS) technology. The background counts were reduced by the anti-coincidence plastic scintillator. The detection efficiency was improved about 5 times, and the spatial resolution good enough for RLGS was achieved
