Description

We report on measurements of radiation hardness of the plastic scintillating fiber SCSF-81. Fibers were irradiated with 60Co γ-rays and fast neutrons up to 105 Gy and up to 5 x 1013 n/cm2, respectively. Deterioration of the attenuation length of the scintillating fiber was studied. Some significant deterioration was observed at the integrated dose of about 1 x 103 Gy and at the integrated neutron flux (neutron fluence) of about 1 x 1012 n/cm2 for γ-ray and neutron irradiation, respectively.
