   What is scintillation in physics?

   • In condensed matter physics, scintillation ( / ˈsɪntɪleɪʃən / SIN-til-ay-shun) is the physical process where a material, called a scintillator, emits ultraviolet or visible light under excitation from high energy photons ( X-rays or gamma rays) or energetic particles (such as electrons, alpha particles, neutrons, or ions ).

   What is the first stage of scintillation?

   • The first stage of scintillation, conversion, is the process where the energy from the incident radiation is absorbed by the scintillator and highly energetic electrons and holes are created in the material. The energy absorption mechanism by the scintillator depends on the type and energy of radiation involved.

   What is a scintillation based on?

   • The total number of photons from the excited scintillator molecules constitutes the scintillation. To a first approximation this is a linear conversion of energy into photons and, therefore, the intensity of light in the scintillation is proportional to the initial energy of the beta particle.
