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 sentences:
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)

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 sentences:
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))
