This note describes a prototype particle tracking detector constructed with 1 mm plastic scintillating fibres with a 64 channel Hamamatsu H8500 flat-panel multi-anode photomultiplier readout. Cosmic ray tracks from an array of 11 gas-filled drift tubes were matched to signals in the scintillating fibres in order to measure the resolution and efficiency of tracks reconstructed in the fibre-based tracker. A GEANT4 detector simulation was also developed to compare cosmic ray data with MC results and is discussed in the note. Using the parameters measured in this experimental setup, modified fibre tracker designs are suggested to improve resolution and efficiency in future prototypes to meet modern detector specifications.

  1. Interaction-model dependence in calorimetric energy reconstruction methods due to non-linear material effects in modern neutrino detectors

    hep-ex 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    Calorimetric neutrino energy reconstruction carries an interaction-model-dependent bias of ~7-18 MeV from Birks quenching and charge recombination, reducible to ~3.5 MeV with idealised hybrid tracking.
