Beam Test Results For The Fiberglast Instrument
EUV, X-RAY, AND GAMMA-RAY INSTRUMENTATION FOR ASTRONOMY X(1999)
Abstract
The FiberGLAST scintillating fiber telescope is a large-area instrument concept for NASA's Gamma Ray Large Area Space Telescope (GLAST) program. The detector is designed for high-energy (E greater than or similar to 10 MeV) gamma-ray astronomy, and uses plastic scintillating fibers to combine a photon pair tracking telescope and a calorimeter into a single instrument. A small prototype detector has been tested with high energy photons at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility. We report on the results of this beam test, including scintillating fiber performance, photon track reconstruction, angular resolution, and detector efficiency.
