Enhance of the polystyrene based plastic scintillator radiation hardness; using fluorine-derivatives of 3-hydroxyflavone

Abstract

New fluorine-derivatives of 3-hydroxyflavone (3HF) are synthesized. Their spectral luminescent properties are investigated. A range of plastic scintillators (PS), which contain fluorine-derivatives of 3-hydroxyflavone as the activation dopant, is obtained. Influence of replace of hydrogen atoms with fluorine atoms in 3-HF molecules on the PS radiation hardness is studies.
