EJ-232 fast timing plastic scintillator

distributed by

This plastic scintillator is intended for very fast timing applications or when very high pulse pair resolution is required.   In all such counting situations the scintillator must be used in a small size, typically with the largest scintillator dimension less than 10 cm, to minimize photon scattering effects.   The use of light guides is also best avoided.

The short wavelength of EJ-232 couples well with standard bialkali phototubes.   Also, the unique formula of EJ-232 ultra fast counting using quenched versions of this material, EJ-232Q.   The most common quenching being with 0.5% benzophenone, achieving 700 ps pulse width and light output od 19% anthracene.
