Description
In high energy physics experiments tracking detectors
consisting of scintillating fibers readout by linear
arrays of silicon photomultipliers have become a competitive
alternative to silicon strip detectors.
The modules produced at the I$^{st}$ Physics Institute of RWTH Aachen University
are made out of ribbons of 0.25~mm diameter scintillating fibers.
Ribbons with different amounts of layers and with lengths between 0.3~m and 3.0~m have been produced. A spatial resolution of 0.05 mm was achieved
with prototypes and experiments (e.g. PERDaix) using these scintillating fiber modules
as tracking detectors.
The established process of the scintillating fiber module production
and quality control measurements will be presented in detail.
