Abstract

Several types of WLS fibers, candidates to be used in the TILECAL/ATLAS detector, were irradiated in a 60Co γ source. Bicron, Kuraray and Pol.Hi.Tech fibers were exposed to a total dose of ∼150 Krad. The degradation of light output was measured just after irradiation and followed during several days. The results are presented.
