Some aspects of scintillation mechanism in organic molecular dielectrics

  • Published : 2005.06.30

Abstract

Aspects of the scintillation mechanism in organic systems obtained on the base of precise measurements of the radioluminescence pulse shape are discussed. It shown that the process of scintillation light pulse formation is mainly determined by initial conditions of exited states generation.
