PEN as a Scintillator, Characterisation of Light Output Properties — •Thomas Kraetzschmar — MPI für Physik, München

Polyethylene Naphthalene (PEN) presently attracts the interest of various groups as a cheap, radio pure scintillating material with various potential fields of applications, spanning from low background experiments to high energy physics calorimeters and potential use in education. In this work, the light output of this scintillator was investigated. Several samples of PEN have been molded at different institutes, and characterized for their light output. The measurements conducted include photo spectral analysis and light yield measurements with SiPMs.The measurements and analysis are presented. Results for different molding parameters are presented.
