Scintillation detectors are used for the determination of the high-energy part of the X-ray spectrum. In scintillation detectors the material of the detector is excited to luminescence (emission of visible or near-visible light photons) by the absorbed photons or particles.
What type of radiation can a scintillation detector detect?
Scintillation detectors emit photons of ultraviolet and visible light due to interaction of radiation emitted by radioactive materials. Solid scintillation had been used earlier in nuclear science for the detection of radiation. The phenomenon of solid scintillation was discovered by Sir William Crookes in 1903.

What is scintillation process?
Scintillation is the process in which the energy from a certain radiation interacting with a volume of sensitive material (called a scintillator) is converted into electromagnetic waves. The frequency of the emitted electromagnetic waves is within or near the visible spectrum.
