material, WbLS is sensitive to particle interactions below the Cherenkov threshold.

The aqueous phase of WbLS may also allow the loading of metallic ions that are not easily incorporated into the non-polar organic solvents that are typical of liquid scintillators. This may permit novel schemes to incorporate metal ions at high concentrations in the WbLS material. We are currently evaluating the possibility to incorporate candidate isotopes for neutrinoless double beta decay, neutron absorbing isotopes, and high Z materials for gamma attenuation.

The optical and chemical properties of WbLS suggest that it may be an effective detection medium to be used in a particle detector capable of a broad range of measurements. Neutrinoless double beta decay, high energy neutrino beam measurements, proton decay, and low energy neutrino physics have been proposed as plausible measurements using a large scale (30 – 100 kiloton) WbLS detector [@Alonzo2014etal].

In order to rigorously evaluate the suitability of WbLS for such an application, a comprehensive understanding of the performance of the material must be developed. Basic material properties such as the light yield, the optical attenuation length, and the emission spectrum must be measured. A model of the response of the WbLS to ionising radiation and
