Scinti-

A scintillator is a substance that can glow when charged particles hit it. It is used in various fields of science and technology, such as high energy physics, nuclear physics, electronics, radiation safety and others.

Scintillators can be of different types, depending on their properties and application. For example, scintillators based on crystals such as NaI(Tl), CsI(Tl) and BaF2 are used to detect gamma rays and X-rays. They have high sensitivity and counting speed, making them ideal for use in gamma ray detectors.

Another type of scintillator is liquids such as strontium iodide (SrI2), fluorescent crystals and organic compounds. They are used as scintillation liquids for particle detection in large particle detectors. They have high recording efficiency and good time response.

In addition, there are scintillation materials that can be used to create various devices, for example, scintillation neutron detector, scintillator temperature sensor, scintillator ionizing radiation detectors, etc.

Scintillator. A scintillator is a substance that converts a very small amount of absorbed energy into a light signal visible to the observer. The most common scintillators are inorganic crystals, liquids and gases.

The principle of operation of a scintillator is to convert the energy of electrons, photons or other particles entering its volume into a stream of light photons. Photons of light from the scintillation structure are recorded by special photomultiplier tubes (PMTs). The ratio of the energy of electromagnetic radiation of photoelectric origin to the change in cathode temperature is related to the quantum efficiency of the photomultiplier, which is usually close to 30%. When charge carriers recombine, the binding energy of their related pairs is close to the energy of ionizing particles. Therefore, the scintillation effect is caused by the entry of a light photon into a certain region around the potential inhomogeneity
