This volume provides a broad overview of the latest achievements in scintillator development, from theory to applications, and aiming for a deeper understanding of fundamental processes, as well as the discovery and availability of components for the production of new generations of scintillation materials. It includes papers on the microtheory of scintillation and the initial phase of luminescence development, applications of the various materials, and development and characterization of ionizing radiation detection equipment. The book also touches upon the increased demand for cryogenic scintillators, the renaissance of garnet materials for scintillator applications, nano-structuring in scintillator development, development and applications for security, and exploration of hydrocarbons and ecological monitoring.
Describes the state of the art from the latest theoretical and technological developments to the applications of materials and detecting systems, allowing the reader to quickly familiarise with the field
Includes a special section with reports dedicated to advanced radiation detectors and detecting systems
Provides information about producers throughout the chain: from raw materials to crystals and detecting systems
