THE DAMAGE TO PLASTIC SCINTILLATORS BY IONIZING RADIATIONS
Journal Article
·
· Intern. J. Appl. Radiation and Isotopes
ABS>The light intensity from plastic scintillators with a polystyrene base is diminished by an increased dose of the alpha - and BETA -radiation received. Moreover, the exposure is accompanied by a decrease in the transmission of the pIastic scintillators' own luminescent light. This however is insufficient for quantitive explanation of the observed reduction in the intensity. The decrease in luminescent light yield is connected with radiation damage to the plastic seintillator. The alpha -radiation dose required to give 50 per cent damage in plastic scintillators is near 6 x 10/sup 9/ ergs/g, i.e. 50 times bigger than that required to damage equally single crystals of anthracene.
