Plastic Scintillators

Plastic scintillators provide a fast signal response with a decay time of 2–4 nanoseconds and high light output(although not as high as some inorganic scintillators like NaI(Tl)) in comparative sense. Plastic Scintillators are known for their excellent durabilities and flexibilities in shape, as they can be produced through molding and machining into various forms, including cast sheets, blocks, rods, cylinders, and thin films.

Hangzhou Shalom EO offers various plastic scintillators:

SP101 emits at 423nm and is commonly used for gamma-ray detection. It is available in large sizes and is easy to assemble with photomultiplier tubes (PMTs).

SP102, also emitting at 423 nm, is primarily manufactured in sheet form for beta-ray detection.

SP121 consists of an SP102 plastic scintillator with a ZnS(Ag) coating, resulting in emission at 450 nm (ZnS(Ag)) with some contribution at 423 nm (plastic scintillator). This design is suitable for both alpha and beta-ray detection.

SP122 is made by coating a ZnS(Ag) layer onto SP101, making it effective for low-energy gamma-ray detection.

SP123 is produced by depositing ZnS(Ag) onto a PMMA sheet or block, and is mainly used for alpha-ray detection.

Additionally, Hangzhou Shalom EO also provides an inorganic scintillator, SG101, a lithium glass scintillator enriched with Li-6, designed for thermal neutron detection.
