“…Organo-gadolinium compounds soluble in classical monomers (MMA and styrene): (a) General formula of gadolinium phenyl-carboxylate; [28], (b) gadolinium isopropoxide; [26] and (c) gadolinium phenylpropionate [32]. Britvich et al [24] reported as well the use of neutron absorbers for plastic scintillators, loading either in the form of o-carborane (4%), boric acid [25] (3%) or 6 LiF (0.1%). Scintillation yields were measured to be 8600, 6200 and 9400 ph/MeV respectively.…”

Shashlyk electromagnetic calorimeter modules with an energy resolution of about 3%/ E (GeV) for 50−1000 MeV photons has been developed, and a prototype tested. Details of these improved modules, including mechanical construction, selection of wave shifting fibers and photo-detectors, and development of a new scintillator with improved optical and mechanical properties are described. How the modules will perform in a large calorimeter was determined from prototype measurements. The experimentally determined characteristics of the calorimeter prototype show energy resolution of σ E /E = (1.96 ± 0.1)% ⊕ (2.74 ± 0.05)%/ √ E, time resolution of σ T = (72 ± 4)/ √ E ⊕ (14 ± 2)/E (ps), where photon energy E is given in GeV units and ⊕ means a quadratic summation. A punch-through inefficiency of photon detection was measured to be ǫ ≈ 5 × 10 −5 (Θ beam > 5 mrad).

“…Plastic scintillators enriched by 6 Li or 10 B [18,19] may be used as an active medium for the detection of decelerated neutrons. Inside a boroncontaining plastic scintillator, the registration of charged products of the reaction 10 Bðn; aÞ 7 Li takes place.…”

“…The light output of the scintillator is about 56-60% of that for anthracene, the luminescence maximum wavelength is about l max ¼ 420 nm, and it contains K ¼ 2-3% by weight of natural boron [19]. It is known that the light output of a-particle-induced scintillations is considerably lower than that from b-particles of corresponding energy.…”
