Measurement of radiation damage of water-based liquid scintillator and liquid scintillator [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Instrumentation, 2015
Liquid scintillating phantoms have been proposed as a means to perform real-time 3D dosimetry for proton therapy treatment plan verification. We have studied what effect radiation damage to the scintillator will have upon this application. We have performed measurements of the degradation of the light yield and optical attenuation length of liquid ...

Fabrication of Liquid Scintillators Loaded with 6-Phenylhexanoic Acid-Modified ZrO2 Nanoparticles for Observation of Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay

open access: yesNanomaterials, 2021
The observation of neutrinoless double beta decay is an important issue in nuclear and particle physics. The development of organic liquid scintillators with high transparency and a high concentration of the target isotope would be very useful for ...

Characterization of the scintillation response of water-based liquid scintillator to alpha particles, and implications for particle identification

open access: yesEuropean Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2023
Next-generation large-scale neutrino detectors, from Eos, at the 1 t scale, to Theia, at the 10 s-of-kt scale, will utilize differences in both the scintillation and Cherenkov light emission for different particle species to perform background rejection.
