by the scintillator and highly energetic electrons and holes are created in the material. The energy absorption mechanism by the scintillator depends...

which uses the technique of mixing the active material with a liquid scintillator (e.g. zinc sulfide), and counting the resultant photon emissions. The...

Scintillation is a fluctuation in the amplitude of a target on a radar display. It is closely related to target glint, or wander, an apparent displacement...

The Liquid Scintillator Neutrino Detector (LSND) was a scintillation counter at Los Alamos National Laboratory that measured the number of neutrinos being...

and heat pulse generated by a particle interaction within its internal scintillator crystal. The device was originally proposed by L. Gonzalez-Mestres and...

Large Underground Scintillation Telescope (BLUST). This detector would consist of huge (10 kilotonnes) amounts of liquid scintillator. It would be located...

Twinkling, also called scintillation, is a generic term for variations in apparent brightness, colour, or position of a distant luminous object viewed...

detectors by adding a light pipe to carry the photon signal from the scintillator inside the evacuated specimen chamber of the SEM to the photomultiplier...

In astronomy, interplanetary scintillation refers to random fluctuations in the intensity of radio waves of celestial origin, on the timescale of a few...

substance. MINOS used a solid plastic scintillator watched by phototubes; Borexino uses a liquid pseudocumene scintillator also watched by phototubes; and the...

inorganic scintillator crystal which like neutron-sensitive scintillating glass fiber detectors makes use of neutron capture by 6Li. Unlike scintillating glass...

detectors, which have no scintillator and are directly exposed to the electron beam, typically offer higher DQE than scintillator-coupled cameras. There...

improve the quantum yield of the scintillator, that is, the amount of visible photons that get extracted from the scintillator as a result of a single quanta...

A gamma camera (γ-camera), also called a scintillation camera or Anger camera, is a device used to image gamma radiation emitting radioisotopes, a technique...

4-bis(5-phenyloxazol-2-yl) benzene is a scintillator. It is used as a wavelength shifter (also called a "secondary scintillator"), which means that it converts...

absorber and scintillator tiles. The absorber has a small interaction length, so that a particle radiates energy in a short track. The scintillator material...

function of the energy loss per path length for a particle traversing a scintillator, and gives a relation that is not linear at high loss rates. The relation...

one of two types of detectors. Indirect detectors contain a layer of scintillator material, typically either gadolinium oxysulfide or cesium iodide, which...

The excited molecules will transfer the energy they now possess to the scintillator molecules, where the energy will be emitted as light. In more detail...

of scintillator compound, such as Rhodamine B or CsI. When the ions pass through the mass analyzer of the spectrometer, they strike the scintillator compound...
