Abstract
Zirconium β-diketonates (synthesized dipivaloylmethanate and commercially available acetylacetonate) have been studied to obtain low-background Zr-containing liquid organic scintillators. Their solubility in organic solvents—linear alkylbenzene and pseudocumene—has been studied. Light absorption in pseudocumene and hexane and specific light yield of scintillator with added β-diketonates depending on zirconium concentration and scintillation additives has been measured. It has been shown that the specific light yield of scintillator has a high value (>60%) only at low zirconium concentration (not higher 2.5 g/L).
