This volume provides a broad overview of the latest achievements in scintillator development
from theory to applications and aiming for a deeper understanding of fundamental processes as
well as the discovery and availability of components for the production of new generations of
scintillation materials. It includes papers on the microtheory of scintillation and the initial
phase of luminescence development applications of the various materials and development and
characterization of ionizing radiation detection equipment. The book also touches upon the
increased demand for cryogenic scintillators the renaissance of garnet materials for
scintillator applications nano-structuring in scintillator development development and
applications for security and exploration of hydrocarbons and ecological monitoring.
