Measurements of the scintillation decay times of liquid scintillators based on linear alkylbenzene and pseudocumene and developed for neutrino experiments of the next generation.

The results of studies of the scintillation-light emission kinetics of liquid scintillators, which are based on linear alkylbenzene (LAB) and pseudocumene (PC) with various scintillating fluors under irradiation with γ quanta from a Cs radioactive source, are presented. The complex multicomponent character of scintillations that is characterized by the fluorescence time constants τ ∼ 2.2-7.0 ns, τ ∼ 4.4-14.7 ns, τ ∼ 13.8-68.8 ns, and τ > 2.2-120.0 ns is demonstrated.
