Abstract
The influence of various components of a plastic scintillator (high co ncentrations of primary dopant, secondary fluor, diffusion enhancer an d stabilizer) on its radiation hardness has been experimentally determ ined, The diffusion enhancing technique was shown to be the most power ful tool for improving radiation hardness. A new polystyrene scintilla tor that decreases its light output by only 4% after 2.8 Mrad irradiat ion has been produced.
