A Scintillator is a material that fluoresces when struck by a charged particle or high-energy photon.
A Scintillator Detector is used to measure charged particles and gamma rays. The scintillations produced by these charged particles and gamma rays in a phosphor are detected and amplified by a photomultiplier, giving an electrical output signal.
