specially designed bubble chambers can still be useful in detecting low energy and
weakly interacting particles (2).
4.8 Liquid Scintillator Detectors
Liquid scintillators are another class of detectors that are now being extensively
used in a variety of applications. They operate on the principle of light emission by
scintillation media when exposed to radiation. Since in this book a whole chapter
has been devoted to scintillators, we will not discuss such detectors here.
