Radiation hardness of plastic scintillators activated by tert-butylfluoro derivatives of 3-hydroxyflavone
Institute of Scintillation Materials, STC "Institute for Single Crystals", National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, 60 Nauky Ave., 61072 Kharkiv, Ukraine
Abstract:
Activators for a radiation-resistant plastic scintillator with increased solubility in polystyrene, tert-butylfluoro derivatives of 3-hydroxyflavone, have been synthesized. A series of plastic scintillators containing up to 3.0 wt. % of the new activators have been obtained. The optical and scintillation properties of the obtained plastic scintillators have been studied, and their radiation hardness has been determined.
Keywords:
plastic scintillator, radiation hardness, degradation, 3-hydroxyflavone, activator.
