TL;DR: In this paper, the use of plastic scintillator bars coupled to wavelength shifting fibers is proposed for neutrino tracking calorimeters, in the context of very large, massive detectors.
Abstract: The technique of plastic scintillator bars coupled to wavelength shifting fibers is proposed for neutrino tracking calorimeters, in the context of very large, massive detectors for experiments on the neutrino factory beam. A prototype has been built with 180 scintillator bars interleaved with an equal number of iron bars. The light from the fibers is collected by multi-anode PMTs and converted with Amplitude–Time–Pattern self-triggering digitizing electronics. The prototype has been tested with electron and pion beams at CERN.

Abstract: A calorimeter with 180 plastic scintillator bars interleaved with 180 iron bars has been built and tested with pion and electron beams at CERN. The plastic scintillator bars, coupled to wavelength shifting fibers, are read with multi-anode PMTs and Amplitude-Time-Pattern self-triggering digitizing electronics. This type of calorimeter could be well suited for the construction of large, many kton detectors for neutrino oscillation experiments on the CERN to Gran Sasso CNGS beam or for the neutrino factory.
