Abstract:
1. A scintillation system for detecting incident radiation, comprising: a scintillator composition for converting incident radiation to scintillation light wherein the scintillator composition comprises: a matrix material with a plurality of base fluorescent dye molecules dissolved therein, wherein the matrix material is a solid organic material, wherein the matrix material with the plurality of base fluorescent dye molecules dissolved therein comprises a plurality of chromophores, wherein the plurality of chromophores have a chromophore average nearest neighbor distance in the range 0.5 to 12 Angstroms; wherein the plurality of chromophores produces the scintillation light upon excitation; wherein the scintillation light has a prompt time component and a delayed time component, wherein the prompt time component and the delayed time component provide information so as to allow distinguishing between scintillation light created by neutrons and scintillation light created by gamma rays, wherein the prompt time component has a prompt intensity (I wherein I
