METAL-CONTAINING PLASTIC SCINTILLATOR Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC G01T1/203 

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: polystyrene-based plastic scintillator contains luminescent additives and a metal-containing compound, wherein the luminescent additives are a nanostructure filler consisting of links corresponding to a primary and a secondary luminophore, and the metal-containing compound is a compound selected from self-organising nanostructure organoelement compounds of general formula C₂₄H₂₃O₆S₃Si₃Me, where Me denotes Fu or Tb, with the following ratio of components, wt %: nanostructure filler 1.0-2.0; metal-containing compound 1.0-10.0; polystyrene - the balance.

EFFECT: high efficiency of detecting gamma-quanta with energy of 20-200 keV and high light output.
