Characterizing time decay of bibenzyl scintillator using time correlated single photon counting

Rev Sci Instrum. 2012 Oct;83(10):10D911. doi: 10.1063/1.4732178.

Abstract

The time decay of several scintillation materials has been measured using the time correlated single photon counting method and a new organic crystal with a highly suppressed delayed light has been identified. Results comparing the light decay of the bibenzyl crystal with a xylene based detector, which is currently installed at National Ignition Facility will be presented.
