Development of plastic scintillator with better performance than the commercial counterpart (UPS-923A) and effect of fluorophore composition on light output
In this study we have synthesized polystyrene based plastic scintillators (PS) loaded with commercially available fluorophores like p-Terphenyl and 1,4-bis(5-phenyloxazol-2-yl) benzene (POPOP). Optimum concentration of the fluorophores in the synthesized PS was determined. The PS exhibited 1.55 ± 0.05 times better light output than UPS-923A, a commercial PS. Emission maxima were obtained at 423 nm with an energy linearity of 99.78% up to 1.061 MeV. Radiation damage of PS by Co-60 irradiation led to 22.3% loss of light yield at 50 kGy radiation dose which is better than the commercial one. The loss of light output in the PS due to radiation damage was because of the degradation of polystyrene matrix rather than the fluorophores.
期刊介绍:
Applied Radiation and Isotopes provides a high quality medium for the publication of substantial, original and scientific and technological papers on the development and peaceful application of nuclear, radiation and radionuclide techniques in chemistry, physics, biochemistry, biology, medicine, security, engineering and in the earth, planetary and environmental sciences, all including dosimetry. Nuclear techniques are defined in the broadest sense and both experimental and theoretical papers are welcome. They include the development and use of α- and β-particles, X-rays and γ-rays, neutrons and other nuclear particles and radiations from all sources, including radionuclides, synchrotron sources, cyclotrons and reactors and from the natural environment.
The journal aims to publish papers with significance to an international audience, containing substantial novelty and scientific impact. The Editors reserve the rights to reject, with or without external review, papers that do not meet these criteria.
Papers dealing with radiation processing, i.e., where radiation is used to bring about a biological, chemical or physical change in a material, should be directed to our sister journal Radiation Physics and Chemistry.
