Abstract
Among the improvements planned for the 1997-98 upgrade of the DØ detector at Fermilab are installation of a scintillating-fiber central tracker and a lead-scintillator central preshower counter read out with wave-shifting fibers. Because of space limitations, fibers in both systems may need to undergo bends with fairly small radii, and the resulting stresses and strains may cause light losses. This paper presents results of a study of the effects of deformation on fiber light transmission. Particular emphasis is placed on the new multiclad fibers developed by Kuraray
