Abstract

The results of studies on optimizing the composition of a new liquid scintillator based on linear alkylbenzene are presented. Light yield, transparency, absorption and luminescence spectra are measured. For liquid scintillator samples placed in a 50 × 50 mm Teflon cylindrical cell, the energy resolution measured for 1 MeV electrons (207Bi) was 8%.
