Description

Parameters of a polystyrene scintillator for the electromagnetic calorimeter of the PHENIX installation are studied. The scintillator was manufactured through casting under pressure by different compositions and concentration values of the scintillating additives. The data on the light yield and attenuation length for the scintillator plates, absorption and fluorescence spectra of the scintillation additives are presented. Effect of the plates on the light yield due to metallization of their lateral faces by the Al layer is studied. The value of the light yield from relativistic particle is measured for the electromagnetic calorimeter modules prototype. 2 refs., 8 figs
