The authors have been developing new scintillating fiber detectors for colliding beam and fixed target applications. In this paper, they present initial results from a developmental study of high refractive index, liquid scintillators, 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.
