Abstract
The results of testing the scintillation and radiation characteristics of thin molded plates and new heavy scintillators based on polystyren e with organometallic additives are presented. The radiation hardness of 1.1-mm-thick cast scintillation plates containing 2% pTP + 0.05% PO POP is 2 Mrad. The possibilities for development of these scintillator -based, radiation-hard, heterogeneous, electromagnetic calorimeters wi th an energy resolution of sigma/E similar or equal to (4-5%)/root E a re discussed.
