摘要: Linear Alkyl Benzene (LAB) is a promising liquid scintillator solvent in neutrino experiments because it has many appealing properties. The timing properties of LAB-based have been studied through ultraviolet and ionization excitation this study. decay time LAB, PPO bis-MSB found to be 48.6 ns, 1.55 ns 1.5 respectively. A model can describe the absorption re-emission process between perfectly. energy transfer LAB with different concentrations obtained via another model. We also show that good (n, γ) (α, discrimination power.
