Abstract
The scintillating fiber tracker system of the WA95/CHORUS experiment a t CERN is briefly described. Its performances were monitored using hig h-energy muons associated to the neutrino beam. After three years of d ata taking, the system has shown to perform according to the design an d to be robust, with a negligible fiber ageing. The different monitori ng and calibration systems necessary to ensure high-resolution trackin g are presented. (C) 1998 Published by Elsevier Science B.V. All right s reserved.
