Abstract
A large scale scintillating fiber tracker using visible light photon c ounter (VLPC) readout was built as a prototype for the upgraded D phi central tracker. This prototype has been under test at Fermilab for si x months using cosmic rays. A description of the components of the tra cker including the photodetector, fibers, lightguides, ribbons, and DA Q is given. Preliminary results on detected photon yield, position res olution, efficiency and VLPC performance are presented.
