Abstract

The chemical compatibility of wave length shifting fibers with several liquid scintillators has been investigated. Based on systematic characterization of the behavior of the BC-517 family, a time of life of 70-450 years was estimated for the polystyrene based wave length shifting fiber in BC-517P scintillator. Wavelength shifting (WLS) fibers irradiated continuously to a dose of 6.4 Mrads (at .377 Mrad/hr of ⁶⁰Co) were observed to decrease from 100% to 5% transmission; however, after 100 hours of annealing, the transmission increased to 90%. GEANT3 simulations of a simplified calorimeter located behind a BaF₂ electromagnetic calorimeter for the GEM detector at SSC showed that the constant term in the energy resolution will change from 1.8 to 2.9 in five years at 10³⁴ luminosity for pseudorapidity η=3.
