Using LEDs to quickly and accurately determine attenuation length and fiber quality.
Determine signal characteristics based on different geometric arrangements of tiles and fibers and tile coverings.
Current Focus of Ludlum @ ND

Test – Scintillation
Used to test all three factors

Variables
Materials Y-11, DSF-1, and DSB-1
Tile Coverings Tyvek, Tedlar, Black Felt
Geometric Arrangements 8 different arrangements including some
that included the fiber in, out of, and on top of the tile.

Data Gathering
Triple Coincidence Radioactive source Data is stored on an oscilloscope 512 data points per run - averaged 3 runs were averaged
![Page 8: The Ludlum Project](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020106/568139d4550346895da1887b/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Calculating Brightness
Brightness is a measure of how much light the fiber transmits
An average run is done to acquire 512 signals
Integration yields total light Several integrations completed

Data Analysis
Average brightness is 1021 units at 1.5 m.

Test – LED Attenuation
A new test UV LED’s
(370nm, 395nm, 400nm, & 405nm) Quicker Easier

Attenuation Length
Lout = Lin * exp (-x / Attenuation Length)
Attenuation length is the distance at which 1/e of the original light remains
Light out data was gathered at 0.10m, 0.25m, 0.50m, 0.75m, 1.00m, 1.25m, 1.50m, 1.75m, 2.00m, 2.25m, 2.50m, 2.75m and 2.93m
