Measurement of $$\alpha $$-particle quenching in LAB based scintillator in independent small-scale experiments
The $$\alpha $$ -particle light response of liquid scintillators based on linear alkylbenzene (LAB) has been measured with three different experimental approaches. In the first approach, $$\alpha $$ -particles were produced in the scintillator via $$^{12}$$ C(n, $$\alpha $$ ) $$^9$$ Be reactions. In the second approach, the scintillator was …
