The use of scintillating fibers in high-energy astrophysics shows great promise for future gamma-ray and cosmic-ray instruments. The current performance of scintillating fibers is examined in this work along with several read-out devices and associated electronics including imag…

The detection of gravitational waves (GWs) originating from a black hole (BH) binary merger in 2015 by LIGO marked the beginning of the age of GW astronomy. Another defining moment came in 2017 with the joint detection of GWs and their electromagnetic (EM) counterpart, beginning…
