Boron-loaded liquid scintillator

Tellurium-loaded organic scintillators

“…The synthesis of diphenyltellurium di-2-ethylhexanoate is described in [17]. The preparation method of complex of diphenyltellurium oxide with di(2-ethylhexyl)phosphoric acid is reported in [18]. The composition of tellurium-containing additives was confirmed by the elemental analysis.…”

“…The search for ways to increase the transparency of TePS is still in progress. In our previous papers [17,18], it was found that the optimization of the content of the fluor and the wavelength shifter for TeLS with Ph 2 TeHex 2 led to an increase in the light yield by ~10-14%, and for TeLS with Ph 2 TeO*D2EHPA, the initially chosen concentrations were already optimal. In both cases, we further investigated the effect of diisopropylnaphthalene on optical performance.…”

“…We have developed other approaches to loading tellurium in the form of diphenyltellurium di-2ethylhexanoate (Ph 2 TeHex 2 ) [17] and a complex of diphenyltelluroxide with di(2-ethylhexyl)phosphoric acid (Ph 2 TeO*D2EHPA) [18] into scintillation bases, such as linear alkylbenzene and polystyrene which have already proven themselves in the scintillation technique [19][20][21][22][23]. The tellurium-loaded liquid and plastic scintillators developed could be recommended for use in largescale experiments to search for the neutrinoless double beta decay.…”

Non-standard antineutrino interactions at Daya Bay

“…with the energy threshold E 0 = 1.8 MeV. There are 6.29 × 10 22 free protons in a cm 3 of the scintillator of density ρ = 0.86 g/cm 3 [31]. Therefore the number of targets per one ton of the scintillator is N T = 7.3 × 10 28 ton −1 .…”
