Abstract
Experimental results of an investigation of the kinetics of photon generation and propagation in a scintillation layer (n-terphenyl in polystyrene) are presented in this paper for the case of relativistic μ-meson passage through the layer. The duration of the photon emission Δtem has been measured as a function of the scintillation layer thickness (l=0.05–0.5 m). The total duration of the photon emission and exit from the scintillation layer Δttot measured with a side coating having diffuse light reflection coefficient ρ=0.9 and 0.95 is given. A kinetic model of the photon generation and propagation in the scintillation layer is described. Satisfactory agreement of the expected values of Δtem and Δttot with the exeeriment is indicated.
