- W4225526685 abstract "Several particle-physics experiments use poly(methyl methacrylate) (a.k.a. PMMA or acrylic) vessels to contain liquid scintillators. Superluminal charged particles emitted from radioactive impurities in or near the acrylic can emit Cherenkov radiation in the ultraviolet (UV) spectra range. If acrylic fluoresces in the visible range due to this UV light, it could be a source of background in experiments where the main signal is visible scintillation light, or UV scintillation light that is absorbed and re-emitted at visible wavelengths by a wavelength shifter. Some of these experiments operate at low temperature. The fluorescence of these materials could change with temperature so we have studied the fluorescence of the acrylic used in the DEAP-3600 experiment down to a temperature of 4 K, and compared it to the common wavelength shifter 1,1,4,4-tetraphenyl-1,3-butadiene (TPB). The light yield and wavelength spectra of these materials were characterized by exciting the sample with 285 nm UV light which acted as a proxy for Cherenkov light in the detector. Spectral measurements indicate at least part of the fluorescence of the acrylic is due to additives. Time-resolved measurements show the light yields of our acrylic sample, TPB sample, and the relative light between both samples, all increase when cooling down. At room temperature, the light yield of our acrylic sample relative to the TPB sample is 0.3 %, while it reaches 0.5 % at 4 K. The main fluorescence time constant of the acrylic is less than a few nanoseconds." @default.
