Claims
- 1. A radiation-to-light converter comprising a combination of a fluor solvent and at least one fluor solute, wherein said solute is 1, 2, 4, 5, 3H, 6H, 1 OH, tetrahydro-8-trifluoromethyl (1) benzopyrano (9, 9a, 1-gh) quinolizin-10-one.
- 2. A radiation-to-light converter as set out in claim 1 wherein the solvent is benzyl alcohol.
- 3. A radiation-to-light converter as set out in claim 1 wherein the solvent is pseudo-cumene.
- 4. A radiation-to-light converter as set out in claim 1 wherein the solvent is pseudo-cumene and further comprising a quantity of BIBUQ as a primary solute.
- 5. A method of detecting and measuring ionizing radiation comprising exposing to high energy particles a measured solution containing 1, 2, 4, 5, 3H, 6H, 1 OH, tetrahydro-8-trifluoromethyl (1) benzopyrano (9, 9a, 1-gh) quinolizin-10-one and transmitting the resulting light pulses through an optical fiber.
- 6. A method as set out in claim 5 wherein the solution further contains BIBUQ.
