Scintillators
Scintillator
A scintillator is a material that emits light (scintillation) when it absorbs ionizing radiation such as X-rays, gamma rays, or charged particles. This light is then detected—typically by a photomultiplier tube (PMT), photodiode, or silicon photomultiplier (SiPM)—to measure the energy and intensity of the radiation.
Scintillators are widely used in radiation detection, medical imaging, security inspection, high-energy physics, and industrial non-destructive testing. They are valued for their fast response time, high sensitivity, and ability to convert invisible radiation into measurable optical signals.
Common types include inorganic crystals (e.g., NaI(Tl), CsI(Tl), BGO, LYSO), organic scintillators (plastics, liquids), and ceramic scintillators, each offering different advantages in light output, decay time, density, and radiation hardness
