TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a measurement of the inclusive jet cross section in {ital {bar p}p} collisions at {radical}{ital s} = 1.8 TeV at the Fermilab Tevatron using the Collider Detector.
Abstract: We present a measurement of the inclusive jet cross section in {ital {bar p}p} collisions at {radical}{ital s} =1.8 TeV at the Fermilab Tevatron using the Collider Detector at Fermilab. Good agreement is seen with the predictions of recent next-to-leading-order ({ital O}({alpha}{sub {ital s}}{sup 3})) QCD predictions. The dependence of the cross section on clustering cone size is reported for the first time. An improved limit on {Lambda}{sub {ital c}}, a term characterizing possible quark substructure, is set at 1.4 TeV (95% C.L.).

TL;DR: A fiber tracking system was constructed at UCLA, consisting of four layers of scintillating fiber ribbons coupled to visible light photon counters (VLPCs), and was tested by measuring cosmic ray track as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: A fiber tracking system was constructed at UCLA, consisting of four layers of scintillating fiber ribbons coupled to visible light photon counters (VLPCs), and was tested by measuring cosmic ray track. The total legth of the fiber array is 7 m: 4 m of scintillating fiber and 3 m of clear optical fiber, 0.83 mm diameter. An average number of 6 photoelectrons were detected by the VLPCs, 7 m from the cosmic ray interaction point at the end of the fibers. The details of the experimental arragement and the test results are presented.
