Quantulus (scintillation liquide)
A scintillation device consists of detecting and measuring ionizing radiation by using the excitation effect of incident radiation on a liquid scintillator, and detecting the resultant light emission using photomultipliers.
The main advantages of this technique are the easy preparation of the sample, a geometrical detection efficiency of 4π and the direct contact between the radioactive atoms and the scintillation media. The two latter points lead to the possibility to detect low energy ionising radiation with high efficiency (H3 and C14 for example).
