Abstract
Polystyrene (PS) and polyvinylxylene (PVX) are the base materials for
plastic scintillators. u.v.-Vis spectrophotometry, luminescence and ES
R spectroscopy were performed on irradiated samples of PS and PVX with
the p-terphenyl (TP) as the primary luminophore and 1,4-di-2(5-phenyl
oxazolyl-1,3)benzene (POPOP) as the secondary one. Dependence of the r
adioluminescence intensity of the scintillators on the concentration o
f the macroradicals formed by irradiation was investigated. Dose depen
dence of the radiation stability of scintillators is discussed. Copyri
