Scintillation Detectors

This lecture covers the history of scintillation detectors, the principles behind their operation, the mechanisms of scintillation, ideal properties of detectors, different types of detectors (organic, inorganic, gaseous, glass), and examples of crystals used in scintillators. It also discusses the scintillation process in organic and inorganic scintillators, properties of organic scintillators, and various types of organic scintillators. The lecture further explores the manufacturing and application of Nal detectors, scintillators for neutron detection, light collection, signal amplification, wavelength shifting, photocathode, electron multiplier, and light collection methods.
