Scintillators are luminescent materials that, when struck by an incoming particle, absorb its energy and scintillate emit light.
Luminescent materials, when struck by an incoming particle, absorb its energy and scintillate, (i.e., re-emit the absorbed energy in the form of light).
Detectors coated with materials which scintillate when subjected to gamma rays are scanned with optical photon detectors and scintillation counters.
Here was a syllogism that scintillated.
It was like a great fountain which you can admire while it is playing—every droplet scintillating with light.
With increasing spatial frequency, the pattern appeared to scintillate and became increasingly ill-defined (splotchy) as orientation identification performance fell to chance level.
