Two material types: Inorganic and organic scintillators high light output lower light output but slow but fast III/2

3 Inorganic scintillators Three different scintillation mechanisms: 1a. Inorganic crystalline scintillators (NaI, CsI, BaF 2...) conduction band exciton band electron activation centres (impurities) scintillation ( nm) luminescense quenching excitation traps E g hole valence band often 2 time constants: fast recombination (ns-µs) from activation centre delayed recombination due to trapping ( 100 ms) Due to the high density and high Z inorganic scintillator are well suited for detection of charged particles, but also of γ. III/3

6 Organic scintillators 2. Organic scintillators: Monocrystals or liquids or plastic solutions S 3 S 2 S 1 singlet states s Molecular states nonradiative triplet states T 2 Scintillation is based on the 2 π electrons of the C-C bonds. fluorescence s T 1 phosohorescence >10-4 s S 0 Emitted light is in the UV range. Monocrystals: naphtalene, anthracene, p-terphenyl. Liquid and plastic scintillators They consist normally of a solvent + secondary (and tertiary) fluors as wavelength shifters. Fast energy transfer via non-radiative dipole-dipole interactions (Förster transfer). shift emission to longer wavelengths longer absorption length and efficient read-out device III/6

7 Organic scintillators Schematic representation of wave length shifting principle (C. Zorn, Instrumentation In High Energy Physics, World Scientific,1992) Some widely used solvents and solutes Liquid scintillators Plastic scintillators solvent Benzene Toluene Xylene Polyvinylbenzene Polyvinyltoluene Polystyrene secondary fluor p-terphenyl DPO PBD p-terphenyl DPO PBD tertiary fluor POPOP BBO BPO POPOP TBP BBO DPS After mixing the components together plastic scintillators are produced by a complex polymerization method. Some inorganic scintillators are dissolved in PMMA and polymerized (plexiglas). III/7

8 Organic scintillators yield/ NaI 0.5 Organic scintillators have low Z (H,C). Low γ detection efficiency (practically only Compton effect). But high neutron detection efficiency via (n,p) reactions. III/8

Effect density of excited molecules de/dx de/dx Another funny effect: Light output of some plastic scintillators depends on B-field. Effect not fully understood. (J.M. Chapuis et al., ATLAS internal note, TILECAL-NO-40 (1994)) III/9

10 Scintillator readout Scintillator readout Readout has to be adapted to geometry and emission spectrum of scintillator. Geometrical adaptation: Light guides: transfer by total internal reflection (+outer reflector) fish tail adiabatic wavelength shifter (WLS) bars WLS green small air gap Photo detector blue (secondary) scintillator UV (primary) primary particle III/10

11 Scintillator readout Widely used wavelength shifters: BBQ, Y7, K27, embedded in PMMA - absorption around 400 nm - emission around 500 nm - big Stokes shift minimal overlap between absorption and emission spectrum long absorption length for emitted spectrum.

Grain size: µm ρ emulsion 3.8 g/cm 3, X 0 = 2.9 cm Ionization (partly) reduces AgBr/Cl to metallic silver. Emulsion development: complete reduction, preferably at places where reduction has already been started by ionization.
