Absorption and emission maximum wavelengths of the solvent (LAB) and solutes (PPO, bis-MSB) mentioned in the RENO experiment. Here, LAB means linear alkylbenzene (C=10-13) derivs used as a solvent. PPO refers to the scintillation fluorophore and the solute used as a primary wavelength shifter (WLS), and bis-MSB refers to the solute used as a secondary WLS. Note that in the case of LAB, there exist a large redshift corresponding to 80 nm between the emission and absorption wavelengths.
| Solvent or Fluors | Name | Absorption Peak or Range [nm] | Emission Peak or Range [nm] |
|---|---|---|---|
| LAB | linear alkyl benzene | 260 [16] | 340 [16,17] |
| PPO | 2,5-diphenyloxazole | ≤ 340 [17] | 360 [17], 340–440 [16,17] |
| bis-MSB | 1,4,-bis(2-methylstyryl)-benzene | 340–400[17] | 417[17] a, 380–460 [16,17] |
a417 nm of the bis-MSB emission wavelength in Table 1 is the number obtained directly from Fig. 4.11 of Reference [17].
