Scope

This document provides guidelines on the nomenclature (identification) of scintillation detectors and scintillators, as well as the standard dimensions of scintillators.

This document applies to all types of solid organic and inorganic scintillators used in detectors for scintillation counting and spectrometry.

The object of this document is to establish a standardised nomenclature for scintillation detectors, providing a comprehensive overview of their properties, and to standardise the dimensions of housed and non-housed scintillators and to facilitate intercomparisons of measurements with housed scintillators.

Liquid scintillators are not addressed by this standard.

The document uses both millimetres (SI units) and inches (non-systemic SI units) for convenience because most manufacturers specify the dimensions in inches for detectors and photomultipliers.The standard recommends the use of SI units.
