Abstract
"Scintillation is one of the methods used to detect ionizing radiation (electromagnetic or particulate radiation capable of producing ion pairs by interaction with matter) because it can be used to record almost all types of radiation. In the scintillation process, a photon is released in the UV or visible-light range when an excited electron in the scintillator returns to its ground state. In recent decades there has been a significant increase in the use of scintillating materials for various applications. They have been used, for example, in the medical imaging area for techniques such as computed tomography, single-photon emission computed tomography, and positron emission tomography. Due to its decay time in nanoseconds, medium density (5.6 g/cm3 ) and potentially high light output, users in national security and high energy physics communities have demonstrated interest in optimizing the performance of ZnO:Ga as an inorganic scintillator".
