Abstract

This chapter discusses the scintillators, materials that produce small amounts of light when hit by radiation. The light emitted by scintillators is collected by photomultiplier tubes, light detectors with an high internal gain. Scintillators are made of different materials (inorganic, organic, gas, liquids) with different light emission mechanisms. The scintillators of interest for astroparticle physics are presented.
