Abstract
The absolute absorption coefficient of a commercial plastic scintillator was measured as a function of wavelength over the region of its luminescence. The absorption coefficient was found to be quite small (∼10−3 cm−1) through most of the visible spectrum with strong absorption beginning at about 4000 A. The details of the experimental apparatus and the procedure are described. Some interpretations of the absorption properties are offered.Keywords
