“…Its excellent spatial resolution allowed us to arrange very small scintillator-fiber elements in a compact way [9,13]. In this work, the width of the detector element was chosen as 4.2 mm (4 mm, width of the LYSO; 0.2 mm, thickness of the reflection material).…”

“…With the above requirements in mind, a new scintillating fiber detector was built for the COMPASS experiment at CERN, in order to improve detection efficiency of high energy muons scattered at small angles with respect to the beam. In our work, we capitalized on the experience of other teams who built similar kind of detectors for our experiment [1][2]. Similarly to [1][2], we used Kuraray SCSF-78MJ doublecladding scintillating fibers, coupled with Kuraray CLEAR-PSMJ fibers, used as light guides.…”

A new scintillating fiber detector has been built for the COMPASS experiment at CERN, in order to improve detection efficiency of high energy muons scattered at small angles with respect to the beam. We present the description of construction work, as well as performance study based on data collected during 2006 and 2007 data taking periods. Special attention is given to a new technology that we used for connecting clear fibers (Kuraray CLEAR-PSMJ) with the scintillating ones (Kuraray SCSF-78MJ) by a radiation hard UV-cured medical glue Loctite 3081. Results of series of measurements are presented, which were made in order to determine radiation hardness, tensile strength and transmission loss of the joints.

“…One of the most common applications of plastic scintillating fibres in today's high energy physics experiments is in the field of scintillating tracker detectors. Since organic scintillators are among the fastest ones, this kind of detector can be used for precise time-of-flight measurements and is often incorporated as an element of topological trigger devices [1][2][3][4]. Whenever considering precise time measurements, it becomes extremely important to know how sure we are of our measurement, or, in other words, what is its expected error.…”

This paper presents the results of a Monte Carlo study of the time resolution of a scintillating fibre detector and analyses its dependence on the various aspects of detector construction. The estimations of the theoretical time resolutions for detectors with different numbers of fibre layers and different types of acrylic-based fibre coatings are presented. The method is suggested to decrease the rate counting effects encountered in high rate applications. It has been observed that for dual cladding fibres with a fluorinated polymer used for the outer cladding, the most significant factor contributing to the time resolution is the number of fibre layers, with the fibre coating being the marginal one. Another observation shows that the introduction of a gap between the fibre and the photomultiplier glass window allows the reduction of the number of photoelectrons by 25% with only a slight decrease in the time resolution, which may be helpful in decreasing the pulse pile-up effects and the photomultiplier gain, commonly observed under high rate conditions.
