Quantum Efficiency adjusted Emmission Spectra

The following plots were created by multiplying the power at each wavelength to the quantum efficiency of the PMT at that wavelength

QE x Power for DMR 15A (unloaded) QE x Power for DMR 15C 0.055% wt Gd (Gd(i-Pr)3)
QE x Power for DMR 15D 0.055% wt Gd (Gd(TMHD)3) QE x Power for WLS Fiber

Area under the curves and Ratios

Area under each of these graphs was calculated by point-by-point integration and ratios for the area under the curve for each of the scintillators as a fraction of the area under the curve for the WLS fiber was also calculated

Sample Area under curve Fraction : (Sample/ WLS )
WLS Fiber 1.95E-11
DMR 15 A (unloaded) 1.19E-9 61.15
DMR 15 C 0.055% wt Gd (Gd(i-Pr)3) 1.37E-9 70.27
DMR 15 D 0.055% wt Gd (Gd(TMHD)3) 1.62E-9 83.04
