Scintillating, waveshifting, and waveguide fibers are used as particle detectors and light detection and transport elements in particle physics experiments. A study of light emission from such structures is being carried out for the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment at CERN. For CMS, the fibers used are polystyrene core with a double-cladding and a diameter of 940 microns and lengths of up to...
We have developed an orientable cosmic ray telescope based on scintillating tile and waveshifting optical fiber technology for hands-on laboratory use and for interactive public displays. The device is sensitive to ionizing radiation and is composed of four individual scintillating tiles into which are embedded double-clad optical fibers doped with waveshifter dye. These fibers are coupled to photomultiplier...
