Goal <strong>of</strong> <strong>Water</strong> <strong>based</strong> liquid scintillator<br />
<strong>Water</strong>-<strong>based</strong> liquid scintillator is different from dissolving<br />
wavelength shifter in water.<br />
Develop a W-LS to be used as energy spectrometers in large-scale<br />
physics experiments<br />
• Replace the hundreds to many tons <strong>of</strong> unloaded or metalloaded<br />
organic liquid scintillators to provide:<br />
• simpler sensitive detection medium<br />
• fewer compatibility problems<br />
• cost savings<br />
• Non-linear photon production plus superior water attenuation<br />
length makes it possible to detect physics below Cherenkov<br />
threshold<br />
• PDK + channel becomes accessible<br />
