<p>A <b>scintillator</b> ( ) is a material that exhibits <a href="page.php?w=scintillation_%28physics%29">scintillation</a> (also termed <a href="page.php?w=radioluminescence">radioluminescence</a>), a kind of <a href="page.php?w=luminescence">luminescence</a>, when excited by <a href="page.php?w=ionizing_radiation">ionizing radiation</a>. Luminescent materials, when struck by an incoming particle, absorb its energy and scintillate (i.e. re-emit the absorbed energy in the form of light). Sometimes, the excited state is <a href="page.php?w=Metastability">metastable</a>,</p><p>
