AI中文摘要:
有机液体闪烁体已使用数十年,尤其是在中微子物理领域。它们擅长探测需要能量和时间信息的低能粒子。有机液体闪烁体具有高光产额、放射性纯度、成本效益等优势。然而,它们也存在缺点,最显著的是缺乏顶点分辨率和粒子鉴别能力。在过去十年中,出现了各种新颖的想法以改进有机液体闪烁体的性能。其中最为突出的是混合和不透明闪烁体。在本会议论文集中,综述了这些新颖闪烁体,并展示了它们在中微子和暗物质物理研究领域的当前应用。
英文摘要:
Organic liquid scintillators are used since several decades, especially in neutrino physics. They excel at the detection of low-energy particles where energy and timing information is required. Organic liquid scintillators have advantages such as high light yield, radio purity, cost effectiveness, and more. However, they also exhibit disadvantages, most prominently a lack of vertex resolution and particle identification. Various novel ideas have emerged over the course of the last decade to improve the performance of organic liquid scintillators. Among them are most prominently hybrid and opaque scintillators. In this proceedings, these novel scintillators are reviewed and their current applications in the research fields of neutrino and dark matter physics are illustrated.
