Ultraviolet-induced fluorescence of poly(methyl methacrylate) compared to 1,1,4,4-tetraphenyl-1,3-butadiene down to 4 K
E. Ellingwood, H. Benmansour, Q. Hars +16
Several particle-physics experiments use poly(methyl methacrylate) (a.k.a. PMMA or acrylic) vessels to contain liquid scintillators. Superluminal charged particles emitted from rad…
Fluorescence of pyrene-doped polystyrene films from room temperature down to 4 K for wavelength-shifting applications
H. Benmansour, E. Ellingwood, Q. Hars +13
In liquid argon-based particle detectors, slow wavelength shifters (WLSs) could be used alongside the common, nanosecond scale, WLS tetraphenyl butadiene (TPB) for background mitig…
Development and characterization of a slow wavelength shifting coating for background rejection in liquid argon detectors
D. Gallacher, A. Leonhardt, H. Benmansour +15
We describe a technique, applicable to liquid-argon-based dark matter detectors, allowing for discrimination of alpha-decays in detector regions with incomplete light collection fr…
