Bv. Grinyov et al., SCINTILLATION MATERIAL FOR DETECTION OF ALPHA,BETA-RADIATION BASED ONPOLYMER-DISPERSED P-TERPHENYL, IEEE transactions on nuclear science, 42(4), 1995, pp. 361-363
Two types of scintillators are described based on polyorgano-polysilox
ane carbosil block co-polimers for detectors of alpha- and beta-radiat
ion. It is shown that scintillators of the first type, obtained by cas
ting of 2-4% solution of carbosil (in toluene, etc.) comprising p-terp
henyl and a Spectrum shifting activator, have conversion efficiency wh
ich, at thickness of 0.1-0.5 mm, is 2.5 times higher then that of stan
dart polystyrene sample (for alpha-radiation), The second type, based
on grinded crystals of p-terphenyl (size particles 0.5-1 mm) in carbos
il, have scintillators efficiency 20% higher than that of anthracene s
ingle crystals.
