Light Yield & Attenuation in Plastic Scintillators & Optical Fibers
Unveil the light yield and attenuation characteristics of plastic scintillators and WLS optical fibers in particle physics research. Explore sources of damage, photodetectors, measurements with radioactive sources, and apparatus views. Dive into detailed analyses and comparisons of light intensities with and without tape at various positions in the Tilecal detector system.
