V. Tracking
There is now impressive evidence that particle tracking
is indeed possible in fiber detectors. Tracks and
interactions have been recorded using glass fiber-optic
detectors and plastic fibers. Figures 2-5 show examples and
Table VI summarizes the current results. In general, the
quantum efficiency and attenuation length properties of
plastic fibers are superior to glass fibers, whereas the
glass fibers provide substantially better track resolution.
