Mikhailin V.V. (ed.) Inorganic Scintillators and Their Applications: Proceedings of the Fifth International Conference SCINT99

Proceedings of the conference (Moscow, August 16-20, 1999). — Moscow: Moscow State University, 1999. — 572 p.
Series of international conferences devoted to various aspects of physics and chemistry of inorganic scintillators and their applications was launched by the International Workshop on Heavy Scintillators for Scientific and Industrial Applications, Crystal 2000 in Chamonix, France in 1992, continued by the Material Research Society meeting on Scintillator and Phosphor Materials in San Francisco in 1994, got its present name in Delft in 1995 at SCINT95 Conference, became a regular biannual meeting in Shanghai in 1997 and confirmed the lasting interest of scientific community to the field in Moscow in 1999 at SCINT99. Novel scintillator application techniques, deeper insight in the physics of processes involved in scintillations, information on new materials and their properties as well as discussion of vital problems and questions of various origin were demonstrated in excellent talks and posters presented at SCINT99 by 250 participants. The field is alive and booming. We present this book of Proceedings with 130 contributions.
