Abstract

We report on preliminary results of an irradiation test concerning the resistance to radiation of a scintillating fibre electromagnetic calorimeter module. In these tests we have measured the light output from the module before and after being irradiated in a high intensity, 1.1 GeV electron beam. The beam was tuned to low intensity in order to perform the measurements in situ. We found that after a total dose of 3 Mrad deposited in the fibres at the peak of damage the signal showed a loss of 18 % after 30 hours of recovery. A detailed description is given below.
