Abstract
We have performed R&D for a tile/fiber calorimeter system. Using a mul ti-turn wave-length-shifting (WLS) fiber, the response of tile/fiber s ystem was made uniform to within 2.5% over a tile. The response unifor mity with respect to the tile size, which varies from 80 mm to 200 mm square, was controlled to within 3% (r.m.s.) by changing the WLS fiber length. Using a Hamamatsu R329 photomultiplier tube, the average ligh t yield was greater than 2.5 photoelectrons per minimum ionizing parti cle.
