Investigating the properties of ortho-positronium in liquid scintillators under oxygen quenching
Investigating the mechanism of positron annihilation in liquid-scintillator based neutrino experiments could be helpful for positron reconstruction algorithms and positron-electron discrimination analysis. Based on this, we utilize a novel positron annihilation lifetime spectrometer to characterize a series of liquid scintillator samples without direct contact with the positron source by applying the anti-coincidence method, which facilitates the measurement of liquids with high accuracy and low background. We obtain an ortho-positronium (o-Ps) lifetime value of 3.02 ns for liquid scintillators composed of linear alkylbenzene and two solutes, and we also measure liquid scintillator samples by bubbling different gases to study the interaction of oxygen dissolved with positronium. The discussion of the annihilation behavior of o-Ps in liquid scintillators further clarify the factors affecting the lifetime and intensity of o-Ps, and the calculation of annihilation rate and free volume radius within the samples has potential applications in characterizing gas solubility and free volume in liquids with o-Ps as probe.
期刊介绍：
Applied Radiation and Isotopes provides a high quality medium for the publication of substantial, original and scientific and technological papers on the development and peaceful application of nuclear, radiation and radionuclide techniques in chemistry, physics, biochemistry, biology, medicine, security, engineering and in the earth, planetary and environmental sciences, all including dosimetry. Nuclear techniques are defined in the broadest sense and both experimental and theoretical papers are welcome. They include the development and use of α- and β-particles, X-rays and γ-rays, neutrons and other nuclear particles and radiations from all sources, including radionuclides, synchrotron sources, cyclotrons and reactors and from the natural environment.
The journal aims to publish papers with significance to an international audience, containing substantial novelty and scientific impact. The Editors reserve the rights to reject, with or without external review, papers that do not meet these criteria.
Papers dealing with radiation processing, i.e., where radiation is used to bring about a biological, chemical or physical change in a material, should be directed to our sister journal Radiation Physics and Chemistry.
