Abstract:Plastic scintillator detectors are widely used in industry,
medicine, nuclear research, and fundamental particle
research. Numerous studies worldwide aim to gain better insight into
and optimize this detector. In this study, polystyrene-based plastic
scintillators were fabricated through thermal polymerization without
initiator and with different wt% of PPO (2, 5, 10, 15, and 30 wt%)
to examine the effect of PPO on scintillation properties and pulse
shape discrimination. The features of these sci… Show more
