This paper reports on measurements of the properties of avalanche photodiodes for possible use in conjunction with scintillating fibers as charged particle detectors. The quantities measured so far have been the gain of the APD's, the amplitude distribution of pulses from particles through the fibers, and the efficiency of detecting these particles. The preliminary results obtained indicate the importance of the choice of associated electronics and good optical coupling between fiber and APD. The results obtained so far have been measured at room temperature and {minus}1000{degrees}C.
