Abstract

Scintillator detectors are widely used in modern nuclear and particle physics experiments. Studying the light attenuation of scintillator detector (LASD) is vitally important for extracting proper measurements of energy and time. In this paper, we integrate the isotropic fluorescence over solid angle to study the influence on overall light-intensity from varying optical path at different angle. Based on numerical results, a universal formula for describing LASD is derived. Under certain condition, our formula can be written as a form of widely-used double-exponential function. The universal formula describes the experimental data of PSD at DAMPE, reducing the maximum deviation at far-side of the scintillator from~10% to less than 2%. Moreover, our model also deciphers Kaiser's experiment, Gierlik's experiment and Platino's experiment successfully.
