Abstract

Ultrafast scintillator fluors based on poly(silylene) copolymers have been developed in our laboratory for use in fast counting applications. The absorption and fluorescence spectra of this copolymer are quite sharp compared with most aromatic fluors and result in severe reabsorption problems. This reabsorption limits the usefulness of these materials in typical host solvents for liquid or plastic scintillator formulations. However, this reabsorption does not inhibit their use as thin films and we have demonstrated thin film scintillators with neat fluor polymer that gave superior light output relative to more conventional polymeric scintillator formulations.
