Development of a Liquid Scintillator Using Water for a Next Generation Neutrino Experiment [PDF]

Advances in High Energy Physics, 2014
A feasibility study on a new type of liquid scintillator based on water has been performed. Mainly due to the differences in polarities between water and oil, organic solvents are not mixed in water. In order to make a liquid scintillator based on water,

Liquid scintillator calorimetry for the LHC

Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section A: Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment, 1995
Abstract We report on the beam tests of full scale liquid scintillator modules designed for a very forward calorimeter for an experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Tests were performed in the electron beams of the SPS at CERN within the 20 and 150 GeV energy range.

Development, characterisation, and deployment of the SNO+ liquid scintillator [PDF]

, 2021
A liquid scintillator consisting of linear alkylbenzene as the solvent and 2,5-diphenyloxazole as the fluor was developed for the SNO+ experiment. This mixture was chosen as it is compatible with acrylic and has a competitive light yield to pre-existing ...

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

Journal 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 ...
