<p>The investigation of the characteristic luminescent response of Ce-doped silica bers under exposure<br>
to electrons in the 20 - 200 GeV energy range is reported in this work, in order to explore the feasibility<br>
to employ silica-based bers for a simultaneous dual-readout approach. The sol-gel method<br>
allows to prepare either doped or undoped bers with high aspect-ratio and good purity, providing<br>
good flexibility and spatial resolution for the realization of a dual-readout detector. The dual<br>
Cherenkov and scintillation light emitted by silica-based bers potentially o ers applications in highenergy<br>
physics calorimetry as well as in other di erent elds, like radiation monitoring in medicine,<br>
security, and industrial controls. The response of the bers, embedded in a tungsten-copper absorber<br>
block to obtain a Spaghetti-like geometry in a high-energy physics environment, has been<br>
investigated through a test beam campaign at the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) facility.<br>
The discrimination of Cherenkov and scintillation light is demonstrated and discussed, along with<br>
a detailed investigation of the scintillation properties of the material: time-resolved spectroscopy,<br>
relative light output, and attenuation length are evaluated. The results presented in this study can<br>
pave the way for further material engineering and future applications.</p>
