ELJEN Products List EJ-200 plastic Scintillator distributed by
This plastic scintillator combines the two important properties of long attenuation length and fast timing and is therefore particularly useful for time-of-flight systems using scintillators greater than one meter long. Typical measurements of 4 meter optical attenuation length are achieved in strips of cast sheet in which a representative size is 2cm x 20cm x 300cm.

The combination of long attenuation length, high light output, and emission spectrum well matched to the common photomultipliers recommends EJ-200 as the detector of choice for many industrial applications such as gauging and environmental protection where high sensitivity of signal uniformity are critical operating requirements.
