| scintillator |
Material that emits light in response to charged particles. When charged particles interact with the scintillator, electrons in the atoms in the scintillator become excited. When the atoms return to ground state, their electrons emit photons (light). Physicists can then use this light to 'see' the particles' tracks.

| scintillation |
The "twinkling" of a celestial object or the rapid variations in a star's brightness. This twinkling is caused by changes of the air temperature in the Earth's atmosphere. Changes in air temperature causes turbulence which varies the bending of the light entering the atmosphere.

| scintillation counter |
A scintillation counter consists of a material that emits light when radiation passes through it. Various liquid, plastic, and crystalline materials have scintillation properties. Scintillation light is measured with photomultiplier tubes. In general the amount of scintillator light detected is proportional to the energy of the radiation.
