Abstract
In this report we address the technical feasibility of a tracker made with SciFi considering the present know-how. In particular, the mechanical design and the readout should be kept realistic. The technical difficulties, which result in very low numbers of photoelectrons have not yet been overcome, and the consequences have not been always fully included in simulations. The report is organized as follows: In the first section we recall the LHC environment constraints on a SciFi tracker. The next section lists the possible readouts and some of their consequences. Section 4 summarizes the properties of plastic SciFi available today, and in section 5 capillaries are briefly reviewed. In sections 6 and 7 we try to look at what a tracking detector made of SciFi could look like. More details are given in the appendices. We have left aside the questions of price and alignment.
