1 Piece smooth watersaw cut BC408 Scintillator Block for the CosmicWatch ProjectMaterialBicron BC408 Plastic Scintillator block with peak emission at about 425nm, custom made for use with a SensL 60035 C-series SiPM. These blocks are cut with a watersaw approximately 5cm x 5cm x 1cm and will need to be polished for use. Instructions for polishing are included with purchase. You will need at least 4 grades of wet sandpaper (~120, 220, 400, 1000 grit) to finish properly. These blocks are custom cut for use in the CosmicWatch project, Cosmic Ray Muon Detector.

This material is a Premium Plastic Scintillator Material, tested and guaranteed to work for your Cosmic Ray Muon Detector project. No other items shown or mentioned are included.Please don’t forget to check my other listings, as I carry many different diameters and lengths that fit right on popular sized PMTs often used in scintillation detectors or available for purchase separately. I also custom cut and polish to request, please inquire if you have needs for a custom

size or finish.These are virgin "water cooled cut" scintillator blocks. I never use standard saws that cause friction and heat during cutting process, or recommend heat polishing of a scintillator. Cutting and polishing of scintillator plastic can be difficult and costly without proper know-how and equipment. Buying precut scintillators from me is much cheaper, safer (and easier) than trying to cut and shape it yourself.Your plastic scintillator ships individually wrapped and labeled, complete with instructions (The CosmicWatch Muon Detector project instructions can be found on-line by doing a search).DON'T FORGET SILICONE COUPLING COMPOUND... www.ebay.com/itm/261918290249Your plastic scintillator comes with instructions for use (The CosmicWatch Muon Detector project instructions can be found on-line by doing a search). I have tons of other radiation detection related equipment listed, so please check out my other items. I am always adding new items in this category, so please don't forget to add me to your favorites list and come back often! I will combine ship. When purchasing multiple items that can be safely combined in a package, please request an invoice before paying. eBay makes it very difficult and costly to refund over-payment of shipping after the fact.

Same day shipping if paid early enough, next business day otherwise. (Priority Mail optional). I only ship to address on PayPal account. Attention school teachers, professors, and students. These are excellent for Science Fair and physics projects, experiments and term or research papers. Scintillator detectors are fun and easy to build for all age groups from high school through college and university. Great experience and fun for the electronic hobbyist as well.
