SCINTILLATOR UNIT FOR USE IN A TEMPERATURE DETECTION SYSTEM, METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR TEMPERATURE DETECTION, AND METHOD OF PRODUCING A SCINTILLATOR UNIT

摘要

A method comprises detecting scintillation from a scintillator unit including a scintillator; and determining a temperature of the scintillator or a sample in thermal contact with the scintillator, based on the detected scintillation, wherein a majority of the detected scintillation is excited by a radiation source provided integrally with the scintillator. A scintillator unit, system and method of producing a scintillator system are also provided.
