A Basic Introduction to Scintillating Detectors
Original language description
The detection of ionizing particles or radiation using scintillation light produced in certain materials belongs to one of the oldest techniques in the field of radiation detection. Despite its long history, this technique remains one of the most versatile and widely used methods for detecting and performing spectroscopy on a broad range of radiations, from alpha particles to gamma rays. This lecture will provide a general introduction to scintillating detectors, covering the fundamental physical principles that underpin their operation. We will explore the key properties that make scintillators effective, such as their light yield, decay time, and spectral emission characteristics. Various types of scintillators will be discussed, including organic and inorganic scintillators, highlighting their specific advantages and typical applications.
