Temperature dependence of the light yield of the LAB-based and mesitylene-based liquid scintillators
Temperature dependence of the light yield of the LAB-based and mesitylene-based liquid scintillators
We studied the temperature dependence of the light yield of linear alkyl benzene (LAB)-based and mesitylene-based liquid scintillators. The light yield increases by 23% for both liquid scintillators when the temperature is lowered from 26 °C to −40 °C, correcting for the temperature response of the photomultiplier tube. The measurements …
