Development of a Liquid Scintillator Using Water for a Next Generation Neutrino Experiment

Figure 5

(a) Scintillation response from each sample. (b) Light yield (LY) of liquid scintillators using water. Results of some liquid scintillators in each group (S1, S2, and S3) with different surfactants are shown. The liquid scintillators using water are excited by using 137Cs source. A LAB-based LS is used for a reference. We take a LAB-based LS as 100% for comparison with other samples.
