Abstract
Three types of optical fibers are used in high energy physics experiments. Scintillating fibers are used mostly for tracking. Wavelength shifting (WLS) fibers to get the signal out from scintillating tiles, which are used often in calorimetry. The third type of optical fibers are clear, typically made of quartz where the Cerenkov radiation in the quartz fiber is used to measure energy in calorimeters. Quartz fibers are normally used in high radiation areas.
