WHAT DOES SCINTILLANT MEAN IN ENGLISH?

scintillant

Scintillator

A scintillator is a material that exhibits scintillation — the property of luminescence when excited by ionizing radiation. Luminescent materials, when struck by an incoming particle, absorb its energy and scintillate,. Sometimes, the excited state is metastable, so the relaxation back down from the excited state to lower states is delayed: the process then corresponds to either one of two phenomena, depending on the type of transition and hence the wavelength of the emitted optical photon: delayed fluorescence or phosphorescence, also called after-glow.

Definition of scintillant in the English dictionary
