Magnetic Field Scan #1 - ‘middle’ • 1 st PCB position in the middle solenoid parallel to line of magnet force, horizontally placed, homogeneous Mag.

S. Thanks to DESY staff to allow to make such measurement Note: these days we have obtained one new notched fiber, which seems to fulfill our request on uniformity (light output ± 10%) Feb 20, 2009 CALICE meeting, Daegu, Korea QRL in Magnetic Field 12
