| Abstract | This paper describes the procurement and the production quality control system of Pseudocumene, the scintillator solvent of the solar neutrino detector Borexino at the Laboratorio Nazionale del Gran Sasso (Italy). This material constitutes about 99.9% of the scintillator total mass, therefore being the most critical element for the radiopurity of the detector. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. |
