Summary:
The plastic scintillator is a solid body of organic scintillating material in plastic, which is composed of stromal scintillation material and shifting agent. The matrix materials are polystyrene and other scintillating materials. The effect of the wave-removing agent is to transmit and prolong the flash light efficiently. The plastic scintillator is not a crystal, but an organic scintillator that can be used for detection of fast neutrons, protons, and cosmic ray fragments. It is easy to prepare large volume of transparent body, and can be easily processed into various shapes, and has the advantages of not delirious, irradiation, flashing attenuation time and low price.
The plastic scintillator is used to detect radiation from alpha, beta, and gamma neutrons. Plastic scintillator has the following advantages:
· simple processing, easy to process into various shapes, such as columns, pieces, rings, rectangles and custom shapes;
· high transparency, good optical transmission performance, large volume scintillation
· short flashing attenuation time, applicable to measurement of time measured in nanoseconds and high intensity radiation;
· stable performance, high mechanical strength, shock resistance, shock resistance and humidity resistance;
