Scintillator is a material that emits visible or ultraviolet light when excited by high-energy particles or radiation (such as X-rays, gamma rays, neutrons, etc.). This light signal can then be converted into an electrical signal by a photodetector (such as a photomultiplier tube or a photodiode) for detecting and measuring radiation. Its working principle is based on the interaction between radiation and scintillator atoms, which releases energy after exciting electron transitions and is emitted in the form of photons.
Scintillators can be divided into two categories according to their properties: organic and inorganic. Organic scintillators (such as plastic scintillators or liquid scintillators) are usually composed of hydrocarbons, have a fast response speed, and are suitable for fast counting, but have low light yield. Inorganic scintillators (such as sodium iodide NaI, cesium iodide CsI or lead tungstate PbWO4) are crystalline structures with high light yield and good resolution. They are often used in situations that require high precision, such as medical imaging or nuclear physics experiments. In addition, there are special types according to the purpose, such as ceramic scintillators or gas scintillators. When selecting a scintillator, its luminous efficiency, decay time, wavelength matching and environmental stability should be considered.
Its applications are very wide. In the medical field, such as PET scanners and CT equipment, scintillators are used to detect radiation signals to generate images. In the nuclear industry and radiation monitoring, it is used to detect environmental radiation or radioactive materials. In scientific research, high-energy physics experiments (such as CERN's Large Hadron Collider) rely on scintillators to track particle trajectories. However, scintillators also have limitations, such as some materials are sensitive to temperature, or performance may degrade in high-radiation environments.
In the market, the demand for scintillators has expanded with the growth of medical imaging equipment, nuclear safety and defense applications. Overall, scintillators are core components in the field of radiation detection, and their development is closely related to the advancement of detection technology.
