Custom ATR-P200 Plates, Panels and Bars
For a custom plate or panel, specify length, width, thickness and tolerances. For a bar or block, include the cross-section, total length and sensor-facing surfaces. Add any holes, recesses or shaped ends to the drawing for feasibility review.
State whether your request is for the scintillator component alone or also requires review of wrapping, light guides, optical coupling or housing. Available dimensions, processing details and assembly scope are confirmed for the quotation.

Specifications
ATR-P200 Plastic Scintillator Properties
Reported material values are listed below. Order specifications and inspection requirements are confirmed during quotation.
| Property | Reported Value | Selection Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Light output relative to anthracene | ≥66% | A relative value; compare materials using matched measurement conditions. |
| Emission peak region | 395–425 nm | A broad peak region, rather than a single specified peak wavelength. |
| Rise time | 0.9 ns | Material timing value; detector electronics also affect the measured response. |
| Scintillation decay time | 2.4 ns | Review against the timing requirements of the detector. |
| Optical attenuation length | >2 m | A 5 × 5 × 80 cm sample gave a fitted value of 2.44 m in a cosmic-ray test. |
| Refractive index | 1.58 | Consider the optical interface and coupling arrangement. |
| Softening temperature | 75–80°C | This value is not an operating temperature rating. |
The attenuation test describes one sample and test arrangement. Its dimensions do not define a maximum production size, and the fitted result is not a guaranteed value for every component.
ATR-P200 vs. EJ-200: Selection Notes
For an EJ-200 replacement project, compare the required detector response as well as the material data. ATR-P200 has different reported decay and attenuation values from the EJ-200 reference, so suitability should be established for the intended geometry and readout.
| Property | ATR-P200 | EJ-200 Reference |
|---|---|---|
| Rise time | 0.9 ns | 0.9 ns |
| Decay time | 2.4 ns | 2.1 ns |
| Optical attenuation length | >2 m reported; 2.44 m fitted sample result | 3.8 m |
These values come from separate material data and are not a side-by-side test. For sample evaluation, use the intended thickness, wrapping, sensor, coupling method and readout settings to compare light collection, response uniformity and timing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can ATR-P200 replace EJ-200?
Use the same component geometry, surface finish, wrapping, coupling and readout arrangement when comparing samples. Define the measurements and acceptance limits before the comparison, including any relevant position dependence along the component. A material-property comparison is a starting point; approval of a replacement should refer to the tested configuration and drawing revision.
What are the reported timing values of ATR-P200?
Can I request custom ATR-P200 dimensions?
Is 2.44 m the maximum available bar length?
How should light collection be specified for an ATR-P200 bar?
Identify whether light is collected from one end or both ends, and mark each sensor interface on the drawing. Specify the coupling-face finish, wrapping boundaries and any light guide. If response along the bar is important, provide the test positions and normalization method rather than assuming a single material attenuation value defines the finished component response.
