The construction of large-scale liquid scintillator detectors is complicatedby the need to separate the scintillation region from photomultiplier tubes(PMTs) due to their intrinsic radioactivity. This is generally done usingacrylic or nylon barriers, whose own activity can also lead to substantialreduction of the fiducial detection volume for a number of low energy (MeV)studies, and whose construction becomes increasingly difficult and expensivefor larger detector volumes. Here we present an initial simulation study of analternative geometric construction known as SLIPS (Stratified LIquid PlaneScintillator), which aims to avoid such physical barriers entirely by insteadusing layers of lipophobic liquids to separate PMTs from the scintillationregion.
