Abstract: 

An activator for plastic scintillators 2-(4-(tert-butyl)phenyl)-6-fluoro-3-hydroxy-4H-chromen-4-one (TBF-3-HF) with an increased solubility in polystyrene was synthesized in this work. A number of plastic scintillators with the TBF-3-HF content up to 3.0 wt. % were obtained. Their optical and scintillation properties have been studied.

Keywords: 
plastic scintillator, radiation hardness, 3-hydroxyflavone, activator.
