Manfredi\, Jr.\n\nAir Force Institute of Te chnology\n\nOrganic scintillators have for decades served as valuable tools in both fundamental and applied nuclear science. Plastic organic scintilla tors in particular have demonstrated value with robust material properties\ , low cost\, and excellent timing performance. Despite the ubiquity of orga nic scintillators gaps remain in the fundamental understanding of the scint illation mechanism\, both due to insufficient models as well as a relative lack of detailed scintillation characterization measurements. Progress on b oth fronts will be presented here. In addition\, novel developments on the photopolymerization of plastic scintillators will be shared. Photopolymeriz ation (a technique often used in 3D printing) promises orders-of-magnitude improvements in manufacturing time compared to traditional thermal polymeri zation and also enables scintillator geometries that are impractical or eve n impossible with the traditional approach.
