研制了一种以直链烷基苯为溶剂、2，5-二苯基恶唑为荧光剂的液体闪烁体，用于SNO ~+实验。选择这种混合物是因为它与丙烯酸相容，并且具有与现有液体增透剂竞争的光产率，同时赋予其他优点，包括更长的衰减长度、上级安全特性、化学简单性、易于处理和后勤可用性。它的特性已被广泛表征，并在这里介绍。除了SNO+之外，这种液体闪烁体现在还用于几个中微子物理实验。
A liquid scintillator consisting of linear alkylbenzene as the solvent and 2,5diphenyloxazole as the fluor was developed for the SNO+ experiment. This mixture was chosen as it is compatible with acrylic and has a competitive light yield to pre-existing liquid scintillators while conferring other advantages including longer attenuation lengths, superior safety characteristics, chemical simplicity, ease of handling, and logistical availability. Its properties have been extensively characterized and are presented here. This liquid scintillator is now used in several neutrino physics experiments in addition to SNO+.
