Abstract

In this paper we describe a single photon method to measure the decay time of two kinds of homemade liquid scintillator. We find that the fast and slow decay time constants of these two samples, with 5 cm diameter and 4 cm height, are about ∼ 4 ns and ∼ 17 ns , respectively. These results are checked through a reference measurement by recording the scintillation pulse shapes at the output of a fast response PMT directly by a digital oscilloscope. The time responses of these two samples are as good as those of commercial liquid scintillator.
