New low cost acrylic scintillators

We have developed a variety of new acrylic scintillators. One of them is to be used in calorimetry in combination with the wavelength shifter bar technique and the others in a more classical way, directly coupled to photomulitpliers. Their common characteristic is a high light output together with a low cost. We present the mechanical and opitcal properties of these scintillators and compare them with some commonly used existing ones.
