Characterizing Quantum-Dot-Doped Liquid Scintillator for Applications to Neutrino Detectors
arXiv:1202.4733 · doi:10.1088/1748-0221/7/07/P07010
Abstract
Liquid scintillator detectors are widely used in modern neutrino studies. The unique optical properties of semiconducting nanocrystals, known as quantum dots, offer intriguing possibilities for improving standard liquid scintillator, especially when combined with new photodetection technology. Quantum dots also provide a means to dope scintillator with candidate isotopes for neutrinoless double beta decay searches. In this work, the first studies of the scintillation properties of quantum-dot-doped liquid scintillator using both UV light and radioactive sources are presented.
