Abstract: 

The polymerization conditions of a polystyrene-based scintillation composition with a high content of activator (40 wt. %) were selected and optimized. The composition and polymerization mode of a relatively large neutron-sensitive plastic scintillator (mass 1 kg) are proposed.

Keywords: 
plastic scintillator, activator, polymerization mode, n/γ-discrimination.
