Liquid scintillator compositions for counting gamma rays and thermal neutrons

Creators

Description

A description is given of a scintillator composition for use in liquid scintillation counting of thermal neutrons or gamma rays. At least 30 per cent by weight of the composition of a scintillator solution comprises an aromatic hydrocarbon solvent, a scintillator solute and an ethoxylated alkyl phenol where the alkyl substituent contains from 7 to 16 carbon atoms and the ratio of the number of carbon atoms in the alkyl substituent to the average number of ethoxy groups is 0.83 to 1.67. About 70 percent by weight of the composition of a loading agent comprises an aqueous solution of an element effecting increased scintillation light. (author)
