ON THE DEPENDENCE OF RADIOLUMINESCENCE EFFICIENCY ON THE AVERAGE MOLECULAR WEIGHT OF POLYSTYRENE SCINTILLATORS

Journal Article · · Acta Phys. Polon.
OSTI ID:4676086
Measurements cover the dependence of the relative technical efficiency of radioluminescence of polystyrene scintillators on the average molecular weight of the polymer. Since luminophors were found to affect the polymerization process, only the intrinsic viscosities to which the average molecular weight of the plastic mass is proportional are given. Radioluminescence efficiency was found to rise with decreasing intrinsic viscosity; this is explained by an increase in energy efficiency of the luminescence of polystyrene as the latter's average molecular weight decreases.
