ON THE LUMINESCENCE OF CERTAIN SOLVENTS

OSTI ID:4840038
The intensity of luminescence of certain solvents, excited by ionizing radiation that does not produce VavilovCherenkov radiation, is measured. The lifetimes of the excited states of heptane, dioxane, and acetone are estimated from the efficsency of energy transfer. It is shown that the fraction of activated (excited and ionized) solvent molecules that attains the fluorescent'' state depends essentially on the nature of the solvent. On the basis of the experimental data, it is suggested that in scintillating solutions specific processes occuring during excitation by particles can produce a quenching of the aceeptor molecules.
