New Scintillators Based On Sio2 Aerogels Saturated With Liquid Scintillators

The results of investigations of scintillation properties of new SiO2-aerogel-based scintillators are presented. The aerogels are simultaneously saturated with Ar and 1-methylnaphthalene-based liquid scintillators. When luminescence is excited in the new scintillator samples by high-energy particles, a light yield of 10.9% of the anthracene level is attained.
