    Abstract: A plastic scintillating fiber capable of detecting radiation having a weakly penetrating property is provided. A plastic scintillating fiber according to an aspect of the present invention includes a plastic optical fiber, and further includes a core containing at least one type of a fluorescent agent, a cladding layer having a refractive index lower than that of the core disposed at a center, and an outermost layer covering an outer peripheral surface of the cladding layer. The outermost layer contains a base material that generates scintillation light, and at least one type of a fluorescent agent that converts the scintillation light into light having a wavelength longer than that of the scintillation light.
