Description

Preparation method of organic plastic scintillator
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of preparation of plastic scintillators, and particularly relates to a preparation method of an organic plastic scintillator.
Background
Scintillators are common photoconversion devices for diagnosing rays or particles generated by nuclear reactions, and play a very important role in high-energy particle research. Different requirements are required for the performance of the scintillator according to different application requirements. Some application fields require that the scintillator has better n-gamma resolution capability, so that the precise diagnosis of neutrons is realized; there is a demand for scintillators having a fast response characteristic to pulsed alpha particles.
In the aspect of neutron diagnosis, no solid scintillator commodity capable of realizing n-gamma spectrum shape resolution is sold at home at present. Rivermol reports a first plastic scintillator capable of realizing n-gamma spectrum shape resolution in 2012, and products and preparation methods cannot be obtained in China. A method for preparing an organic plastic scintillator by taking polyvinyl toluene as a matrix material exists in China, but the content of 2, 5-diphenyl oxazole (PPO) in the plastic scintillator is up to 30%, and the plastic scintillator with higher PPO content is not suitable to be prepared. The higher the PPO content in the plastic scintillator, the more excellent the n-gamma resolution performance. Therefore, in order to further increase the content of PPO in the plastic scintillator, the preparation method and formulation of the patent need to be optimized and upgraded.
Based on the reasons, the organic plastic scintillator with high PPO content, high efficiency, high resolution and quick response is developed and used for detecting and diagnosing high-energy particles and rays in the research fields of ICF, nuclear physics, high-energy physics and the like.
