Hi all, i want to ask use of scintillator. Actually what i studied that to convert highly energetic gamma rays, to visible photon we use scintillator before p.m. tube, so that photoelectric effect can occur and we get photo-electrons.
But when gamma rays interact with matter in three different ways, i.e. photo-electric effect, compton effect, pair production. Since we are getting photoelectric effect then why we need to convert it to visible photon and allow directly to incident on p.m. tube?
THANKS
