Plastic scintillator

Plastic scintillator

Product introduction           

The ease with which plastic scintillators can be shaped and fabricated makes them a very useful form of organic scintillator. Typical plastic scintillators have an emission maximum at 425nm. Plastic scintillators are characterized by relatively large light output (typically 25-30% of NaI(Tl)) and short decay times (~2ns), which make this material suitable for fast timing measurements. All plastic scintillators are sensitive to X-rays, gamma rays, fast neutrons and charged particles.
