A low-background scintillation setup situated in the Gran Sasso National Laboratory is described. The facility is composed of nine identical cells, each 2 L in volume. The C-14 content of a PXE-based scintillator has been measured using this setup; the value obtained is R(C-14/C-12) = (12.6 +/- 0.4) x 10(-18). This result can be used for comprehensive investigation of possible C-14 production channels in organic scintillators.

Abstract

A low-background scintillation setup situated in the Gran Sasso National Laboratory is described. The facility is composed of nine identical cells, each 2 L in volume. The C-14 content of a PXE-based scintillator has been measured using this setup; the value obtained is R(C-14/C-12) = (12.6 +/- 0.4) x 10(-18). This result can be used for comprehensive investigation of possible C-14 production channels in organic scintillators.
