DEUTERATED

EJ-315

 

EJ-315

 

EJ-315 is based on highly purified deuterated benzene and is useful for fast neutron research. A particularly highly enriched deuterated benzene is employed to achieve the very high D:H ratio of 141:1. A non-deuterated version, EJ-315H, is also available for comparison studies. EJ-315H is based on normal standard benzene, but otherwise the formulae of the two scintillators are identical. The properties of each are presented below.

Because of the toxic nature of benzene, it is strongly recommended that the liquids be ordered in the encapsulated form so you need only to mount your phototubes in order to put the scintillator into service.
