Abstract
Plastic scintillators have been widely deployed for γ-ray detection with the promise of fast response, environment stability and ease of scale-up. The light yield of plastic scintillator is moderate compared with their organic single crystal counterpart. To boost the light yield of plastic scintillators, we investigated and synthesized fluorene derivatives as dopants in the polyvinyltoluene matrix to promote the energy transfer and light yield. Various factors affecting the optical transparency, Förster energy transfer efficiency, light yield and scintillation decay were investigated.
