DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Luis Manzanillas (Max Planck Institute for Physics)\
 nPolyethylene naphthalate (PEN) is an interesting industrial plastic for t
 he physics community as a wavelength-shifting scintillator. Recently\, PEN
  structures with excellent radiopurity have been successfully produced usi
 ng injection compression molding technology. This opens the possibility fo
 r the usage of optically active structural components with wavelength shif
 ting capabilities in low-background experiments. Thus\, PEN holders will b
 e used to mount the Germanium detectors in the LEGEND-200 experiment. The 
 ongoing R&D on PEN will be outlined with a focus on the evaluation of its 
 optical properties. In addition\, the ongoing efforts for further applicat
 ion of PEN in the LEGEND-1000 experiment will be presented.\n\nhttps://ind
