See scintillator and scintillation counter for practical applications. Particle interactions in the liquid target produce scintillation and ionization. For most scintillators, light output and scintillation decay time depends on the temperature. Radioactivity is usually measured in these procedures using a scintillation counter. Optical fibers doped with a wavelength shifter collect scintillation light in physics experiments. Precision of time measurement with a scintillation detector is proportional to . Crystal tungstates are used as scintillation detectors in nuclear physics and nuclear medicine. Scintillation detectors are generally assumed to be linear. Two scintillation detectors were placed next to the cadmium targets. Stilbene and derivatives are used in scintillation counters to detect such particles. The presence of quenching effects results in reduced light output (i.e., reduced scintillation efficiency). Two scintillation detectors were placed next to the water targets. Liquid scintillation counting is the preferred method. This was the birth of the modern scintillation detector. Detectors are designed to have one or two scintillation materials, depending on the application.
