Abstract

The development of novel scintillating fiber detectors for colliding-beam and fixed target applications is considered. The authors present initial results from a developmental study of high-refractive-index liquid scintillators and the incorporation of these liquids in glass capillaries. Advantages of liquid-in-capillary fiber detectors include high efficiency and fast decay; the potential for high-resolution tracking, as light emission is expected to be local to the deposited ionization in liquids containing single solutes; the potential for good radiation resistance; and replaceability
