The light yield of a water-based Cherenkov detector can be significantly improved by adding a wavelength shifter (WLS). WLS molecules absorb ultraviolet photons and re-emit them at longer wavelengths where typical photomultiplier tubes are more sensitive. In this study, several WLS compounds are tes
