Today and Tomorrow for Scintillating Fibre (SCIFI) Detectors

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Ettore Majorana International Science Series ((EMISS,volume 34))

Abstract

We review the current status of SCIFI detectors in experimental particle physics and their prospects in tomorrow’s supercollider detectors. Our main focus concerns tracking devices although we also discuss the important aspects of SCIFI calorimetry. We could say, in summary, that SCIFI detectors will have a bright future.
