Abstract
Abstract Time-response characteristics of eight commercial plastic scintillators have been studied. Samples were excited by 50 ps electron or bremsstrahlung pulses. Sampling techniques were used to record the signal from a fast vacuum photodiode. Effects of surface preparation on time response were studied. The observed fwhm (in ns) for the three fastest plastics was 1.5, 2.0, and 2.3 for NE111, Pilot U, and KL236 respectively. The effect of various optical filters was studied for NE111. With suitable filtration, a minimum fwhm of 1.15 ns was observed for NE111. Time response of NE102 samples was studied as a function of thickness. For thin samples, improvement in time response was observed.
