A scintillating fiber-optic active target (SFT) for studies of high energy photoproduction

A description is given of a high-resolution, gateable scintillating fiber target that has been developed for Fermilab Experiment E687 to study charm and beauty particle production and decay in high-energy photon interactions. The detector consists of a scintillating target of either GS1 cerium glass...

Zusammenfassung:	A description is given of a high-resolution, gateable scintillating fiber target that has been developed for Fermilab Experiment E687 to study charm and beauty particle production and decay in high-energy photon interactions. The detector consists of a scintillating target of either GS1 cerium glass fibers or polystyrene fibers of 29- mu m cross section, a multistage image intensifier, and an intensified CCD or SIT/VIDICON camera system used in conjunction with a custom-built video data acquisition system.< >
