Evaluation of wavelength shifters for spectral separation of barium fluoride emissions
- Univ. of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI (United States)
BaF2 has the advantage over other scintillators, when comparing radiation hardness, scintillation decay time, and fast scintillation yield. Since the fast BaF2 emissions have peak wavelengths of 220, 195, and 170 nm, a wavelength shifter (WLS) is needed. Organic fluors were evaluated as WLS components. Results indicate that spectral separation using WLS is possible, but not to the extent desired; other techniques must be used also. Alternative scintillators, such as CeF3, should be investigated.
