This UV light is then transformed into visible light by so called wave length shifters that are added to the material. Mono crystals - Napthalen (C 0 H 8 ) - Anthrazen (C 0 H 0 ) - p-terphenyl (C 58 H 4 ) Liquid- and plastic- scintillators consist of organic substance (polystyrol) plus scint. molecules ( %) in addition: secondary fluor compounds as wave length shifters Organic Scintillators carsten.niebuhr@desy.de 7 Particle Detectors 3 carsten.niebuhr@desy.de 8 Particle Detectors 3
