Two material types: Inorganic and organic scintillators high light output lower light output but slow but fast III/2
3 Inorganic scintillators Three different scintillation mechanisms: 1a. Inorganic crystalline scintillators (NaI, CsI, BaF 2...) conduction band exciton band electron activation centres (impurities) scintillation ( nm) luminescense quenching excitation traps E g hole valence band often 2 time constants: fast recombination (ns-µs) from activation centre delayed recombination due to trapping ( 100 ms) Due to the high density and high Z inorganic scintillator are well suited for detection of charged particles, but also of γ. III/3

6 Organic scintillators 2. Organic scintillators: Monocrystals or liquids or plastic solutions S 3 S 2 S 1 singlet states s Molecular states nonradiative triplet states T 2 Scintillation is based on the 2 π electrons of the C-C bonds. fluorescence s T 1 phosohorescence >10-4 s S 0 Emitted light is in the UV range. Monocrystals: naphtalene, anthracene, p-terphenyl. Liquid and plastic scintillators They consist normally of a solvent + secondary (and tertiary) fluors as wavelength shifters. Fast energy transfer via non-radiative dipole-dipole interactions (Förster transfer). shift emission to longer wavelengths longer absorption length and efficient read-out device III/6

Some inorganic scintillators are dissolved in PMMA and polymerized (plexiglas). III/7
8 Organic scintillators yield/ NaI 0.5 Organic scintillators have low Z (H,C). Low γ detection efficiency (practically only Compton effect). But high neutron detection efficiency via (n,p) reactions. III/8
