By Paul Lecoq, Alexander Gektin, Mikhail Korzhik
The advance of recent scintillators as parts of contemporary detector platforms is more and more outlined by means of the tip user's wishes. This booklet offers an creation to this rising subject on the interface of physics and fabrics sciences, with emphasis on bulk inorganic scintillators. After surveying the top user's wishes in an enormous variety of functions, starting from astrophysics to business R and D, the authors circulate directly to evaluation scintillating mechanisms and the homes of crucial fabrics used. A bankruptcy on crystal engineering and examples of modern advancements within the box of high-energy physics and clinical imaging introduce the reader to the sensible points. This publication will profit researchers and scientists operating in educational and commercial R and D regarding the improvement of scintillators.
