Description
Scintillator samples are synthesized by a university-SME collaboration and the light yield, light emission and light transmission properties are studied with the aim of determining the fluor content that gives the highest light yield. Three plastic scintillator samples with different fluor additives are produced and their optical properties are found to be comparable with a high-light-yield EJ-204 reference sample. Amongst the three, the sample with 0.75% PPO + 0.75 %PTP and 0.04% POPOP + 0.04% Bis-MSB provides the highest light yield. The authors plan to use the same fluor additive concentration to produce application-specific scintillators that are not commercially available for nuclear reactor monitoring and medical applications.
