Abstract
The Fiber Tracking Group (FTG) of the Solenoidal Detector Collaboration (SDC) is developing a high rate tracking subsystem appropriate for the SDC detector based on scintillating fiber (SciFi) technology. In the past two years a major upgrade in the design was conceived, which reduces the material and cost of the tracker and improves the effectiveness of the tracking system as a trigger element. The results of simulations of the performance of the tracker at Penn State have been very important in keeping the SciFi technology as an attractive option for a tracking system for the SDC collaboration. In the past year an array of scintillating fiber elements has been evaluated in a test beam at Brookhaven. Past experience of Penn State personnel at Brookhaven proved valuable in making the test beam runs a success.
