Light collection study in scintillation strips with wave length shifting light guide

The light collection process in a long polystyrene scintillator strip to a longitudinally placed wavelength shifting light guide is considered. By means of Monte Carlo method, the dependence of light yield on strip parameters: dimensions, bulk attenuation length (BAL), diffuse reflection coefficient...

Description
Summary:The light collection process in a long polystyrene scintillator strip to a longitudinally placed wavelength shifting light guide is considered. By means of Monte Carlo method, the dependence of light yield on strip parameters: dimensions, bulk attenuation length (BAL), diffuse reflection coefficient have been calculated. The optimum number of light guides and their dimensions are estimated. The results are compared to theoretical estimations within the integrating sphere model. It is shown that in spite of the small strip transverse dimensions, the light yield depends substantially on the material transparency and attains its maximum value at BAL of about 1 m.
