scintillation detectors

Scintillation detectors are devices used to identify and measure radiation such as gamma rays or X-rays. They work by using a special material, called a scintillator, that emits tiny flashes of light when hit by radiation. These flashes are then detected by a sensor, which converts the light into electrical signals. The strength of these signals indicates the amount of radiation present. Scintillation detectors are widely used in medical imaging, security screening, and nuclear power to detect and analyze radiation safely and accurately.
