Abstract
We are investigating the feasibility of high-resolution tracking with an active target made of glass capillaries filled with organic liquid scintillator. This technique allows real time detection of short-lived particle decays. In this paper, we report on experimental results obt ained from an active target having 2 X 2 cm(2) cross section and 180 c m length, installed in front of the CHORUS detector and exposed to the CERN Wide Band Neutrino Beam. The detector consists of 5.1 x 10(5) ca pillaries with 20 mu m inner diameter, read out by a single optoelectr onic chain and a Megapixel CCD. Details on tests in the neutrino beam will be reported. First neutrino interactions have been detected.
