Performance of the UA2 scintillating-fibre detector

1989

Abstract A large scintillating-fibre detector consisting of ≈ 60 000 scintillating plastic fibres of 1 mm diameter and 2.4 m length has been used successfully as a tracking and preshower detector in the UA2 experiment at CERN. The detector readout and the results from the p p data-taking run are described.
