The book focuses on the discovery of next-generation scintillation materials and on a deeper understanding of fundamental processes. Such novel materials with high light yield as well as significant advances in crystal engineering offer exciting new perspectives. Most promising is the application of scintillators for precise time tagging of events, at the level of 100 ps or higher, heralding a new era in medical applications and particle physics. Since the discovery of the Higgs Boson with a clear signature in the lead tungstate scintillating blocks of the CMS Electromagnetic Calorimeter detector, the current trend in particle physics is toward very high luminosity colliders, in which timing performance will ultimately be essential to mitigating pile-up problems. New and extremely fast light production mechanisms based on Hot-Intraband-Luminescence as well as quantum confinement are exploited for this purpose. Breakthroughs such as crystal engineering by means of co-doping procedures and selection of cations with small nuclear fragmentation cross-sections will also pave the way for the development of more advanced and radiation-hard materials. Similar innovations are expected in medical imaging, nuclear physics ecology, homeland security, space instrumentation and industrial applications. This second edition also reviews modern trends in our understanding and the engineering of scintillation materials. Readers will find new and updated references and information, as well as new concepts and inspirations to implement in their own research and engineering endeavors. 410 0$aParticle Acceleration and Detection,$x1611-1052 606 $aParticle acceleration 606 $aPhysical measurements 606 $aMeasurement 606 $aEngineering?Materials 606 $aCrystallography 606 $aMaterials science 606 $aNuclear medicine 606 $aParticle Acceleration and Detection, Beam Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P23037 606 $aMeasurement Science and Instrumentation$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P31040 606 $aMaterials Engineering$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T28000 606 $aCrystallography and Scattering Methods$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P25056 606 $aCharacterization and Evaluation of Materials$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Z17000 606 $aNuclear Medicine$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H29048 615 0$aParticle acceleration. 615 0$aPhysical measurements. 615 0$aMeasurement. 615 0$aEngineering?Materials. 615 0$aCrystallography. 615 0$aMaterials science. 615 0$aNuclear medicine. 615 14$aParticle Acceleration and Detection, Beam Physics. 615 24$aMeasurement Science and Instrumentation. 615 24$aMaterials Engineering. 615 24$aCrystallography and Scattering Methods. 615 24$aCharacterization and Evaluation of Materials. 615 24$aNuclear Medicine. 676 $a539.775 700 $aLecoq$b Paul$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0822927 702 $aGektin$b Alexander$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aKorzhik$b Mikhail$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910155301703321 996 $aInorganic Scintillators for Detector Systems$92108047 997 $aUNINA
