Abstract:
Analytical calculations of the trapping efficiency of scintillating fibers are presented. These verify manufacturers' claims and clarify the use of trapping efficiency towards the estimation of the number of photons reaching each end of the fiber. The analytical calculations yield upper and lower limits of the trapping efficiency resulting from the consideration of both meridional and skew optical rays and meridional rays alone, respectively. These limits agree with Monte Carlo simulations.
