Plastic Scintillator Calculation

Below is the calculations done to determine the probability of pair production depending on thickness of the scintillator.

Molecules per volume [math] = \frac{grams CH_{2}}{cm^3} * \frac{mol}{gram} * \frac{N[A]}{mol} [/math]

Weighted cross-section [math]= (\sigma_{elec}C + \sigma_{nucleus}C) + 2(\sigma_{elec}H + \sigma_{nucleus}H)[/math] (these cross sections were using the pair production cross sections converted into [math]cm^2[/math]
