Journal of Instrumentation, 2022•iopscience.iop.orgWe measured the surface tension of linear alkylbenzene (LAB) HYBLENE 113 mixed with
Diphenyloxazole (PPO) as well as of pure LAB HYBLENE 113 as part of material studies for
the liquid-scintillator based surround background tagger (SBT) in the proposed SHiP
experiment. The measurement was performed using the iron wire method and the surface
tension for linear alkyl benzene HYBLENE 113 plus PPO was found to be (30.0±0.6) mN/m
22.0±0.5 C and for pure HYBLENE 113,(29.2±0.6) mN/m at 21.0±0.5 C.

Abstract
We measured the surface tension of linear alkylbenzene (LAB) HYBLENE 113 mixed with Diphenyloxazole (PPO) as well as of pure LAB HYBLENE 113 as part of material studies for the liquid-scintillator based surround background tagger (SBT) in the proposed SHiP experiment. The measurement was performed using the iron wire method and the surface tension for linear alkyl benzene HYBLENE 113 plus PPO was found to be (30.0±0.6) mN/m 22.0±0.5 C and for pure HYBLENE 113,(29.2±0.6) mN/m at 21.0±0.5 C.
