Scientific paper

Recently high photon yielding and long attenuation length step index scintillating plastic fibers have been developed. Scintillating fibers of 1 mm diameter made of polystyrene doped with butyl-PBD and POPOP (λ = 420 nm), and clad with PMMA (poly-methylmetacrylate) have resulted attenuation lengths over 2 meters. Scintillating fibers stacked up into scintillating fiber planes U, V and W that are rotated by 60° angle relative to each other and coupled to position sensitive photomultipliers can be used as high resolution imaging gamma-ray detectors. We are presenting the design of a large area gamma-ray telescope with high angular and energy resolution for space based experiments, using scintillating fibers and recently developed position sensitive photomultiplier tubes.
