Abstract
The characteristics of plastic optical fibres (scintillating or not) are of interest for particle detection. Scintillating fibres added fine grain sampling to the time resolution and amplitude level measurements of classical scintillators. They can be used for hodoscopes, calorimeters and time of flight. Wire chambers' time resolution could be improved by the use of shifter fibres. Light guides and signal transmission could be made with non-doped fibres.
The results of a feasibility study of such fibres at the Departement de Physique des Particules Elémentaires de Saclay will be presented.
