New results on radiation damage studies of plastic scintillators

This article presents a comparative study of scintillation and radiation characteristics for a series of new and known plastic scintillators. About 70 new scintillators have been measured. Polystyrene scintillators containing 20% 1-methylnaphthalene + 2% pTP + 0.05% POPOP and 20% 1-methylnaphthalene...

Description
Summary:This article presents a comparative study of scintillation and radiation characteristics for a series of new and known plastic scintillators. About 70 new scintillators have been measured. Polystyrene scintillators containing 20% 1-methylnaphthalene + 2% pTP + 0.05% POPOP and 20% 1-methylnaphthalene + 2% pTP + 0.05% POPOP + 0.02% K-27 revealed the maximum radiation resistance, about 7–9 Mrad.
