Szintillationsdetektor
A Szintillationsdetektor, or scintillation detector, is a type of radiation detector used to measure ionizing radiation. It operates on the principle that certain materials, when struck by ionizing radiation such as alpha particles, beta particles, gamma rays, or neutrons, emit light flashes or scintillations. These scintillations are brief, low-intensity light pulses.
The core of a scintillation detector is the scintillator material itself. Common scintillators include inorganic crystals
This light pulse is then detected and converted into an electrical signal. Typically, a photomultiplier tube
By analyzing the characteristics of these electrical pulses, such as their amplitude and duration, information about
