Description
We have measured the efficiency of a bar of bis-MSB wavelength shifter plastic to capture ultraviolet photons and deliver them as blue photons to a detector at the end of the bar. We find that this process is suitable for application to a supernova neutrino detector consisting of a large number of small heavy water Cherenkov counters. (orig.)
