We have been developing new scintillating fiber detectors for colliding beam and fixed target applications. In this paper, we present initial results from a development study of high refractive index, liquid scintillator, and the incorporation of these liquids into glass capillaries. Advantages of liquid in-capillary fiber detectors include: high efficiency and fast decay; the potential for high-resolution tracking as light emission is expected to be local to the deposited ionization in liquids containing single solutes; the potential for good radiation resistance and replaceability. 13 refs., 2 figs., 3 tabs.
