Abstract
- Bismuth-loaded plastic scintillators capable of gamma spectroscopy are being scaled up to multiple cubic inch sizes. High light yields of >38,888 Ph/MeV are obtained with Iridium-complex fluors due to efficient harvesting of both singlet and triplet excitons, providing energy resolution of ~10% at 662 keV for 3 in3 scintillators. Although singlet fluors provide a poorer light yield of ~12,888 Ph/MeV and resolution at 662 keV of 14% in the Bismuth-loaded plastics, the fast decay time of
