Zusammenfassung:
There is rising interest in organic scintillators with low scattering length
for future neutrino detectors. Therefore, a new scintillator system was
developed based on admixtures of paraffin wax in linear alkyl benzene. The
transparency and viscosity of this gel-like material can be tuned by
temperature adjustment. Whereas it is a colorless transparent liquid at
temperatures around 40C it has a milky wax structure below 20C. The production
and properties of such a scintillator as well as its advantages compared to
transparent liquids are described.
