Scientific paper

This work reports on the use of scintillating optical fibers in two experiments being prepared for space flight. The Advanced Composition Explorer (ACE) [1], to be launched in August 1997, includes the Cosmic Ray Isotope Spectrometer (CRIS) which uses a Scintillating Optical Fiber Trajectory detector (SOFT) for trajectory information. The Scintillating Fiber Telescope for Energetic Radiation (SIFTER) is currently being developed as a high energy gamma ray telescope for a future space mission. It uses scintillating optical fibers distributed throughout the converter material to allow detailed study of the development of the electromagnetic cascade produced by gamma rays.
