Spectroscopy in Action | Measuring Scintillation: Optimise Your Radioluminescent Materials

Scintillators play a critical role in airport baggage screening, medical imaging, and particle physics research by converting high-energy radiation into detectable light. Designing efficient, high-performance scintillators depends on a deep understanding of scintillation and radioluminescence (how materials emit UV or visible light when excited by X-rays). In this webinar, Maria and Tommy will introduce the fundamentals of scintillators and explore how scintillation underpins their real-world applications. You will learn how to characterise radioluminescence in scintillating materials, from spectral analysis to advanced time-resolved measurements. We will walk through the required instrumentation and show how to interpret experimental results using practical, real-world examples. What you will learn: What scintillators are, and how they enable radiation detection The physical mechanisms behind scintillation and radioluminescence Instrumentation used to measure radioluminescence in scintillators How to perform and analyse spectral and time-resolved radioluminescence measurements Please don't hesitate to contact us via [email protected] for any enquiries or in depth questions.
