Fluorescence of tetraphenyl-butadiene in the vacuum ultraviolet.

چکیده
Tetraphenyl-butadiene is a useful alternative to sodium salicylate as a fluorescent wavelength converter for detectors in the vacuum uv. Measurements of the fluorescence efficiency of TPB relative to sodium salicylate over the wavelength range 735-3160 A are presented, and the application of TPB coatings to image tube detectors is discussed. Over the entire wavelength range studied TPB had a higher fluorescent efficiency than sodium salicylate.

Fluorescence efficiencies of thin scintillating films in the extreme ultraviolet spectral region
Fluorescence efficiencies of the organic scintillators tetraphenyl butadiene (TPB), p-terphenyl (TPH), and diphenyl stilbene (DPS) are measured relative to sodium salicylate at incident wavelengths of 58.4 and 74.0 nm. Optimum thickness and dopant concentration are determined for maximum fluorescence yield in evaporated, sprayed, and doped plastic films. Measurements made with alpha (a) particl...
متن کاملToward quantitative prediction of molecular fluorescence quantum efficiency: role of duschinsky rotation.
It is a highly desirable but difficult task to predict the molecular fluorescence quantum efficiency from first principles. The molecule in the excited state can undergo spontaneous radiation, conversion of electronic energy to nuclear motion, or chemical reaction. For relatively large molecules, it is impossible to obtain the full potential energy surfaces for the ground state and the excited ...
متن کاملTetraphenyl Butadiene Emanation and Bulk Fluorescence from Wavelength Shifting Coatings in Liquid Argon
We study the stability of three types of popularly employed TPB coatings under immersion in liquid argon. TPB emanation from each coating is quantified by fluorescence assay of molecular seive filter material after a prolonged soak time. Two of the coatings are shown to emanate a detectable concentration of TPB into argon over a 24 hour period, which corresponds to tens of parts per billion in ...
