  Quartz capillary tube/fibers have been filled with anthracene by a melt and
vacuum inbibition process to fabricate a scintillating core fiber. Other
polcyclic aromatic hydrocarbons(PAH), such as p-Terphenyl (pTP), stilbene or
naphthalene are also well-suited to scintillating/shifting fiber cores. The
resulting scintillating core with quartz cladding capillary fibers (250-750
micron cores) had a high specific light output when tested with muons (8 p.e.
per MIP). These PAH core quartz capillary cladding scintillating/shifting
optical fibers have the potential of high radiation resistance, fast response,
and are applicable to many energy and intensity frontier experiments.
