Abstract

Collection of light in a counter with mirror reflection from relief (nonflat) surfaces and with a high transparency of the liquid scintillator was investigated. Based on results of measurements and simulation of light collection, the dependence of light collection coefficient K on the relief of reflecting surfaces and the scintillator transparency was obtained using the Monte Carlo method. The light collection coefficient was K=(30.9+1.1)×10s-3, and the resolution of the distribution function for the K value over the counter volume was η ≈12%.
