✦ Synopsis

New low cost acrylic industrial scintillators coupled to wavelength shifter material (BBQ) which give 2.5-3.0 times the PLEXIPOP-BBQ light outplJt are presented. Aromatic scintillators with a 3.7-5.0 times the PLEXIPOP-BBQ light output have also been developed in the laboratory. The industrial production of these aromatic scintillators is still under study.

All these scintillators are particularly well suited for calorimetry.
