Description

Scintillating fiber has the performance of high detecting efficiency and short response time. Scintillating fiber tracking combines the speed and efficiency of a scintillation detector with the flexibility and hermeticity. We study and test the performance of two kinds of scintillating fiber, Kuraray SCSF-81 of Japan and Bicron-BCF10 of American. A set of experiment device testing single scintillating fiber performance is introduced. The experiment methods and measurement results of light yield, attenuation length, time resolution and spatial resolution are presented. The performance comparison for the two kinds of scintillating fiber is also given
