Investigation of wavelength shifter properties of p-terphenyl and TPB
Wavelength shifter materials like pTerphenyl and Tetra Phenyl Butadiene (TPB) of thicknesses between 65 and 250 μg/cm have been studied in order to improve the quantum efficiency (QE) of a photomultiplier in the UV range. The best result has been obtained for p-Terphenyl of 100 μg/cm thickness. In this case the quantum efficiency integrated over a broad range of photon energies up to 6.2 eV sho...
متن کاملDiode-laser-based sum-frequency generation of tunable wavelength-modulated UV light for OH radical detection.
Greater than 1.5 microW of tunable wavelength-modulated 308-nm radiation was generated by sum-frequency mixing of 90 mW of 835-nm diode-laser output and 1.5 W of 488-nm Ar(+)-laser output in a beta-barium metaborate crystal. Hydroxyl radicals formed in a discharge-flow reactor were detected by use of the generated UV beam by direct absorption, wavelength-modulation absorption spectroscopy, and ...
متن کاملDetection Properties of a Neutron Counter Based on Scintillator, Wavelength Shifter, and Photomultiplier
A simple neutron counter based on a scintillator strip, a wavelength shifter rod, and a photomultiplier was constructed in order to compare the properties of such a detector to a commercially available He counter. A calculation of the number of photons per absorbed neutron shows that with the bright Li Gd (11BO3)3 scintillator, light levels should be sufficient to perform pulse height discrimin...
متن کاملSterilization effect of UV light on Bacillus spores using TiO(2) films depends on wavelength.
UV light and photocatalysts such as titanium dioxide (TiO(2)) and silver (Ag) are useful for disinfection of water and surfaces. However, the effect of UV wavelength on photocatalytic disinfection of spores is not well understood. Inactivation of Bacillus spores has been examined using different UV wavelengths and TiO(2) or TiO(2)/Ag composite materials. The level of UVA disinfection of Bacillu...
متن کاملConformation of p-terphenyl under hydrostatic pressure.
The conformation of p-terphenyl (C18H14) and deuterated p-terphenyl (C18D14) has been investigated, using high-pressure infrared spectroscopy at liquid-helium temperatures. First-principles calculations, together with the experimental results, were performed to determine the structure of p-terphenyl in the twisted conformation. At low temperatures and pressures, p-terphenyl belongs to the C2 po...
