25 Scintillation detectors Scintillation Charged particle passing the medium can ionize or excite the atom. Photons Photons can also interact with electrons in atom. They can transfer all their energy to single electron (photoelectric effect) or only part of it (Compton effect) Return of the atom to its ground state can be accompanied by the photon emission - scintillation In both cases, electron is released from atom.
