Light response of PEN to neutrons

Lead Author(s): B. Hackett, R.J. deBoer

Low-background active materials are needed for ton-scale, rare-event and cryogenic detectors. Poly(ethylene-2,6-naphthalate) (PEN) is a good candidate for these applications because of its robust structural characteristics and its scintillation light in the blue wavelength region. We present a measurement of PEN’s quenching factor using three different neutron sources. Learn more
