PEN作为自否决结构材料
PEN as self-vetoing structural Material
摘要：
聚萘二甲酸乙二醇酯（PEN）是一种机械性能非常好的聚合物。早先发现，与其它市售箔相比，由PEN制成的薄箔可具有非常高的放射性纯度。事实上，PEN已经用于低背景信号传输应用（电缆）。最近人们认识到PEN也具有良好的分散性能。结合起来，这使得PEN在低背景实验中成为非常有希望的自否决结构材料。装有光探测器的部件可以由PEN制成。这包括探测器支架，探测器容器，信号传输链路等。目前的R\&D对PEN作为一个自我否决的低背景结构材料的资格。
英文摘要：
Polyethylene Naphtalate (PEN) is a mechanically very favorable polymer. Earlier it was found that thin foils made from PEN can have very high radio-purity compared to other commercially available foils. In fact, PEN is already in use for low background signal transmission applications (cables). Recently it has been realized that PEN also has favorable scintillating properties. In combination, this makes PEN a very promising candidate as a self-vetoing structural material in low background experiments. Components instrumented with light detectors could be built from PEN. This includes detector holders, detector containments, signal transmission links, etc. The current R\&D towards qualification of PEN as a self-vetoing low background structural material is be presented.
