Preferred Label : scintillators;
IUPAC definition : Materials used for the measurement of radioactivity, by recording the radioluminescence.
They contain compounds (chromophores) which combine a high fluorescence quantum efficiency,
a short fluorescence lifetime, and a high solubility. These compounds are employed
as solutes in aromatic liquids and polymers to form organic liquid and plastic scintillators,
respectively.;
