Lithium-loaded Liquid Scintillator Production for the PROSPECT experiment

This work reports the production and characterization of lithium-loaded liquid scintillator (LiLS) for the Precision Reactor Oscillation and Spectrum Experiment (PROSPECT). Fifty-nine 90 liter batches of LiLS (\({}^6{\rm Li}\) mass fraction 0.082%\(\pm\)0.001%) were produced and samples from all bat...

Zusammenfassung:This work reports the production and characterization of lithium-loaded liquid scintillator (LiLS) for the Precision Reactor Oscillation and Spectrum Experiment (PROSPECT). Fifty-nine 90 liter batches of LiLS (\({}^6{\rm Li}\) mass fraction 0.082%\(\pm\)0.001%) were produced and samples from all batches were characterized by measuring their optical absorbance relative to air, light yield relative to a pure liquid scintillator reference, and pulse shape discrimination capability. Fifty-seven batches passed the quality assurance criteria and were used for the PROSPECT experiment.
