Stanford: Advanced Optical Ceramics Laboratory Detectors based on scintillators (fig 1) are essentially composed of a scintillator material, and a photodetector that can be either a photomultiplier tube (PMT) or a photodiode The role of the photodetector is to convert the outcoming light of the scintillator to an electrical signal
Liquid Scintillators; Technology and Challenges Liquid scintillator technology and applications, particularly for neutrino physics, have reached new levels of scale and performance Noble liquid detectors – not covered in this review – are also getting scaled to extraordinary sizes
