The light emission time response of quenched NE1T1 plastic scintillators has been measured using a streak camera (20 ps resolution) and 100 to 180 ps, 1.06 um, laser-produced, pulsed, low energy x-ray excitation. Each light output pulse was obtained by deconvolutlon from the film data using the x-ray temporal response measured with an x-ray sensitive streak camera (10 ps resolution). Time response parameters are presented for benzophenone and acetophenone, quenching agents which most effectively reduce the decay time of the singlet component. Full wTdth-half-maximums <_ 260 ps were observed for Nf.111 samples quenched with i 2% benzophenone. Results are given for unquenched samples consisting of different concentrations of butyl-PBD in PVT and for the phosphor ZnO doped with Ga.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
