Abstract :
The polystyrene-based scintillator UPS 923A was chosen for upgrading of the muon system for the CDF detector at the Fermilab Tevatron. Properties of this scintillator such as light output, light attenuation, long-term stability and also timing characteristics of scintillators and wavelength-shifting fibers were investigated. The method for the Bulk Attenuation Length measurements of the scintillator to its own light emitted was proposed.
ison measurements of the characteristics of the UPS 923A and the polyvinyltoluene-based scintillator NE 114 are done. It was found that natural aging of the NE 114 was two times faster than that of the UPS 923A.
