Abstract
An extrusion line has been installed and successfully operated at FNAL (Fermi National Accelerator
Laboratory) in collaboration with NICADD (Northern Illinois Center for Accelerator and Detector
Development). This new Facility will serve to further develop and improve extruded plastic scintillator.
Recently progress has been made in producing co-extruded plastic scintillator, thus increasing the
potential HEP applications of this Facility. The current R&D work with extruded and co-extruded
plastic scintillator for a potential ALICE upgrade, the ILC calorimetry program and the MINERvA
experiment show the attractiveness of the chosen strategy for future experiments and calorimetry. We
extensively discuss extruded and co-extruded plastic scintillator in calorimetry in synergy with new
Solid State Photomultipliers. The characteristics of extruded and co-extruded plastic scintillator will be
presented here as well as results with non-traditional photo read-out
