Inhibition (quenching) des solutions scintillantes par les alcools aliphatiques

Biophysik Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

The quenching effect of different alcohols on the pulse height and on the resolution of liquid scintillators has been studied. The reciprocal of pulse height and the resolution squared have been found to vary linearily with alcohol concentration. It has been found that the molecular quenching constant for normal alcohols slightly increases with chain length. The same behaviour has been established for secondary and tertiary alcohols, which are nevertheless slightly weaker quenching agents.
