Fuse widths are the maximum thickness of a fiber at the fuse site between the scintillating fiber and the upstream end of the waveguide. The fusing process typically creates a slight bulge around the interface, which can interfere with bundling in the detectors. All fuse widths were measured as a part of the fusing procedure

Fuse widths are the maximum thickness of a fiber at the fuse site between the scintillating fiber and the upstream end of the waveguide. The fusing process typically creates a slight bulge around the interface, which can interfere with bundling in the detectors. All fuse widths were measured as a part of the fusing procedure. Histogram F shows the distribution of fuse widths among all three hundred and sixty fibers.
