Description
PEN is an industrial polyester plastic interesting for the physics community as a new type of wavelength shifting plastic scintillator. Recently, PEN structures with good radio-purity and attenuation length have been successfully produced using the injection compression molding technology. This opens the possibility for usage of PEN as optically active structural components in low-background experiments such as the LEGEND-200 experiment. The ongoing R&D on PEN will be outlined with focus on the evaluation of the optical properties of PEN. In addition, the ongoing efforts for further application of PEN in the LEGEND-1000 experiment will be presented.
