 FAST TIMING

 EJ-228, EJ-230

 

EJ-228

 

These plastic scintillators are intended for very fast timing applications or when very high pulse pair resolution is required. The use of light guides is best avoided.

EJ-228 should be used in small sizes for the best timing results, with the largest scintillator dimension less than 10 cm to minimize photon scattering effects. This scintillator is particularly useful where very high count rates are present.

EJ-230 is a variant on the optimized EJ-228 formula for applications where a detector dimension must exceed 10 cm. The mean free path of the scintillation emission spectrum is typically 100 cm. Scintillators up to 50 cm can be employed with good timing and light collection results. This scintillator is particularly useful where very high count rates are present.
