Question

Difference between organic and inorganic scintillation detector

Answer 1

Answer:

Inorganic scintillators: a typical example is BaF2 in which both STE (slow) and CVL(fast) luminescences occur. Since large energy transfer in collision is necessary to excite CVL, electrons have CVL, while heavy particles (-rays) not. In organic scintillators, both fast and slow components exist.
