| Popis: | A test facility to study the light-transmission properties of scintillating fiber waveguides for tracking applications in high-energy physics is being developed. A light-tight box 2 m in length has been built, and data acquisition hardware and software is in place for testing various aspects of scintillating fibers and waveguides. Scintillating fibers have been excited with radioactive sources, ultraviolet light sources, and light-emitting diodes. Various photodetectors such as photomultiplier tubes, photodiodes, charge-coupled devices and solid-state photomultipliers have been utilized to detect the transmitted light. Studies of attenuation length and transmission through splices are presented. > |
