Abstract

Results are presented of measurements of the energy loss response of thin film plastic scintillators using fission fragments for a range of film thicknesses from 0.8 to 6 μm. Previously reported anomalous response behaviour of the thin film plastic scintillators of 4–5 μm thickness was not observed. The improved understanding of the light response characteristics of TFPS makes possible their use as ΔE detectors in heavy ion particle identification systems.
