Abstract
We have been investigating the performance of scintillating pad detect ors, individual small tiles of scintillator that are read out with wav elength-shifting fibers and visible light photon counters, for applica tion in high luminosity colliding beam experiments such as the DO Upgr ade. Such structures could provide ''pixel'' type readout over large f iducial volumes for tracking, preshower detection and triggering.
