Liquid scintillator

A liquid scintillator is a specially formulated liquid that emits flashes of light, called "scintillations," when it detects certain particles like radiation or subatomic particles. It contains chemicals that absorb this energy and then quickly release it as light. Scientists use liquid scintillators in experiments to observe and measure elusive events, such as detecting neutrinos or radioactive decay, because they produce clear, detectable signals. Their transparency and ability to convert invisible particles into visible light make them valuable tools for understanding fundamental processes in physics and other sciences.
