TLDR
Quartz fibers have many interesting and beneficial aspects, which derive from the fact that the Cerenkov effect forms the basis of the signals in quartz-based detectors as discussed by the authors, and they also discuss some details of the radiation damage characteristics of quartz.
Abstract
Quartz fibers were first applied in particle physics experiments for detectors that operated at extremely high radiation levels. The superior radiation hardness of high-purity quartz was the driving consideration at that time. However, it turned out that these fibers have many other interesting and beneficial aspects, which derive from the fact that the Cerenkov effect forms the basis of the signals in quartz-based detectors. These aspects are reviewed in this paper. We also discuss some details of the radiation damage characteristics of quartz.

Electron detection with a dual-readout calorimeter

TL;DR: In this article, a copper-based fiber calorimeter was used to measure scintillation light and Cherenkov light generated in the process of electron shower development, and the energy resolution, signal linearity and the dependence of the response function on the impact point and the angle of incidence were investigated.

Muon detection with a dual-readout calorimeter

TL;DR: In this article, a copper-based fiber calorimeter is studied by simultaneously measuring the scintillation light and the Cherenkov light generated in the detector, and it is shown that the presence of two physically separate readout signals makes it possible to recognize and eliminate these effects.
