Study of Wave Length Shifters for SPD BBC Scintillation Tiles Readout
摘要
Abstract
Tile scintillators are the widely used technology in HEP experiments. The technology implies wavelength shifters (WLS) to collect light from a tile and guide it toward a photomultiplier and provides homogeneous readout from tiles with low dependence on tile shape and size. For this purpose, WLSs must provide appropriate light transportation along with good light trapping efficiency and time performance. Here we present results of comparative study of light collection and losses for two WLSs: Kurarai Y-11 and Saint Gobain BCF-92.
