Abstract
A plastic scintillating fiber includes: an outermost peripheral layer containing a compound of a heavy metal element and containing a resin having scintillating properties; a core disposed inside the outermost peripheral layer and containing at least one type of fluorescent substance that absorbs the scintillation light generated from the outermost peripheral layer and wavelength-converts the absorbed light into light having a wavelength longer than that of the absorbed light; and a cladding layer covering an outer peripheral surface of the core and having a refractive index lower than that of the core. A wavelength shifting fiber including the core and the cladding layer, and the outermost peripheral layer covering an outer peripheral surface of the wavelength shifting fiber are integrally formed.
