Description

Properties of different optical oils and greases in the UV light region were studied using transmission and photoelectron measurements. The results show that not all of the greases commonly used for scintillators are applicable to the BaF2 detector, which have a fast component in the UV region. Results obtained for a spectrometer consisting of a cylindrical well-polished 48 mm diam. x 50 mm BaF2 crystal indicate improved properties for the fast component, compared to the nonpolished crystals.
