Scintillator

For a moment i was expecting the claim you invented scintillators. Kleuske (talk) 18:10, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Many "new" scintillators have been discovered by many people over the last 100 years. Our group at Berkeley has been among them. Scintillating GaAs is a very unusual new scintillator with unique advantages for detecting low mass dark matter, and its inclusion in Wikipedia was motivated by the need to summarize its properties and operation, and to provide references to the recent literature. It was not known before we discovered it in in 2016.

Thanks for your interest. Steve scint (talk) 18:37, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
