T553-1 (first test) Gain calibration -1 calibrated the PMT ’ s gain by 1 p.e. Injected the LED light adjusted as 1 p.e. to the cathode surface of the PMT. 1 p.e. was determined with the ratio of 0 p.e. and 1 p.e. But this measurements was not worked Not good S/N To the second test  with higher p.e.#

The result : Light yield T553-1 (first time) These are not p.e. but the relative values are meaningful. 5000ppm has the highest light yield in tested fibers % % % % % % % %

T553-2 (second test) Gain calibtion -2 Adjusted the LED to about 20 p.e. P.e.# was estimated by ((MEAN)/(RMS))^2

Conclusion from the beam test We tested scintillating fibers of different 3HF concentration. We used green sensitive PMTs in stead of VLPC. The result of light yield test Single layer 5000ppm-1% : 8 p.e. (3 p.e.) 2500ppm -1%: 6.5 p.e. (3 p.e.) Double layer 5000ppm-1%: 10 p.e (4.5 p.e.) 2500ppm-1%: 8 p.e. (4.5 p.e.)

Summary We studied the light yield of scintillation fibers mixed with 3HF as a secondary dopant with realistic component. We studied the light yield with some conditions. w/ and w/o 4m clear fiber Single and double layer The result of light yield pT(1%) + 3HF(5000ppm) has the highest light yield in any conditions.
