2 Introduction Development of Organic Scintillators (Plastic and Liquid). Start at 50 s and mainly in 60 s-80 s.. Main development in LS (routine technique with great number of applications). Description of theoretical methods. Systematic studies of the experimental conditions. Establishment of measuring protocols Development of Plastic Scintillators (spheres or blocks). Extrapolation from LS theories. Lack of experimental confirmation about mechanism of scintillation
3 Introduction: Scintillation mechanism α - β MEDIUM SCINTILLATOR MEDIUM PMT ELECTRONICS Lost of energy due to interactions of the particles with the medium (PARTICLE QUENCHING) Lost of energy due to ionization (IONIZATION QUENCHING) Lost of energy due to non effective electronic transfer (CHEMICAL QUENCHING) Absorption of photons (COLOR QUENCHING) Optical effects (OPTICAL QUENCHING) Medium Compounds with high atomic number or high density Scintillator Molecules with high electroaffinity, Colored compounds Compounds that change the optical conditions of the medium
4 Objective OBJECTIVE OF THE WORK Evaluation of different quenching mechanism taking place in the measurement with organic scintillators (plastic microspheres and liquid).
5 Experimental.

No evident in 6 Cl SQP constant (747±6) expect when phase separation (791) H spectra moves to high energies. 6 Cl spectra only moves when phase separation
17 Results. Particle Quenching in LS Effect of increasing amounts of BaCl 2 and Glycerin INCREASE OF THE MICELLE SIZE:. Organic phase with non saturated water micelles of higher diameter. Low beta emitters are affected by density changes. Similar situation to PS (PARTICLE QUENCHING) PHASE SEPARATION:. Organic phase with saturated micelles (higher energetic part of the spectra). Water phase with the organic scintillator solved (lower energetic part of the spectra). Radionuclides are distributed in both phases. Organic phase becomes saturated and efficiency and SQP remain constant
18 Results. Chemical and Color Quenching in LS Quenching agents: Nitromethane and Methyl orange Classical quenching curve. Decrease of the efficiency correlated with a decrease of the SQP Spectra shifted to low energies with the increase of the quencher concentration

20 Conclusions BaCl 2 and Glycerin affect the measure of H with PSm as some particles are stopped and detection efficiency decreases. 6 Cl is too energetic and no effects are detected. Presence of nitromethane in the PSm measurements causes a decrease of the efficiency correlated with the SQP (classical chemical quenching) Measure of H with LS in presence Glycerin is affected by particle quenching (increase of the density or the micelle size) as the decrease of the efficiency observed is similar to that of PSm.
