2,5-diphenyloxazole or PPO is an organic scintillator. It is used as a wavelength shifter (also called a "primary shifter" or "fluor"), which means that it converts shorter wavelength light to longer wavelength light. Its output spectrum peaks at 385 nm, which is the UV light
Latest measurements
The properties of PPO were measured by Cosmic Rays and Particle group at Nazarbayev University t. The PPO was dissolved in 1,2,4-Trimethylbenzene (PC or pseudocumene) and tested using the Agilent Cary Eclipse spectrophotometer. This is part of the on-going work and once its published, the reference will be provided. Right now, raw plots with watermark are being uploaded so that there is any data available.
Excitation
The PPO fluorescence is being excited using wavelength from 190nm to 370nm. Fluorescence is monitored at 385nm.
Fluorescence
The fluorescence spectrum is shown. The PPO being excited at 280nm (first peak). Can clearly observe the emission peak at 385nm.
