LIQUID-SCINTILLATOR AND REFLECTIVE-COATING STUDY

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4336091
;
This report is a study of the comparative responses of some scintillators in tanks of various reflective coatings to gamma rays from Cs/sup 137/ and Co/sup 60/ sources. In order of decreasing quality, the scintillators tested, all of which contained p-terphenyl, were toluene-POPOP, xylene- alpha nPO, polystyrene- alpha -NPO, and triethylbenzene-POPOP. The reflective coatings tested were: Plasite, alpha -alumina in sodium silicate, and titanium dioxide in Zapon Aquinate Lacquer. (auth)
