English term or phrase: scintillator

Definition from European Nuclear Society:
Substance in which flashes of light are generated by impinging ionizing radiation (fluorescence). Nal(Tl)-monocrystals are particularly suitable for the detection of gamma radiation and anthracene or diphenyl oxazole dissolved in toluene is suitable for beta radiation. ZnS(Ag) is a favourable scintillator for detection of alpha radiation.

Example sentence(s):

Gadolinium silicate doped with cerium is a "fast" crystal and can be used as a protection scintillator. Its possible applications include computer tomography, spatial resolution of less than 1 mm. Marketech International
YAG (Yttrium Aluminum Garnet) single crystal scintillators are chosen by many scanning electron microscopists because they have a very fast response time of 50 - 60ns and (unlike plastic or most phosphor scintillators) they do not degrade when bombarded by electrons or ions. Canemco & Marivac
Plastic scintillators are prepared by bulk polymerization in aluminium (size up to 3.5 m) or glass cast and by pressure molding technique. Amcrys-H

Scintillatore

Definition from Wikipedia:
Uno scintillatore è un materiale capace di emettere impulsi di luce, in genere visibile o ultravioletta, quando viene attraversato da fotoni di alta energia o da particelle cariche.

Example sentence(s):

Esistono diverse tipologie di scintillatori che si distinguono per tipo di materiale di cui sono composti, i tempi di risposta, le lunghezze d'onda emesse, l'efficienza di scintillazione (quanta energia viene convertita in luce) etc. - Wikipedia
Per poter infiammare la miscela di aria e combustibile all'interno della camera di scoppio del Pulso-reattore occorre costruire uno scintillatore che faccia scoccare delle scintille elettriche in sequenza periodica fra gli elettrodi di una candela del tipo usata negli autoveicoli. - Sito Web Ruggero Billeri
Definiamo scintillatore qualunque materiale che emette un impulso di luce poco dopo il passaggio di una particella carica. - prof. Valdata (Università Perugia)
