Abstract :
Liquid-in-capillary detectors for tracking applications in high-energy physics experiments are discussed. The detectors consist of glass capillaries of low refractive index filled with liquids of sufficiently high refractive index to produce an efficient waveguides. The preparation of scintillating core liquids from the solvent 1-phenylnaphthalene and single solutes of selected fluorescent dyes is described
