Les principaux critères à rechercher pour la détection de rayonnement par scintillation sont : l'absorption adéquate du rayonnement; l'efficacité ou le rendement de scintillation le plus élevé possible; l'émission rapide de lumière; la quantité de lumière générée qui doit être proportionnelle à l'énergie déposée; la lumière de scintillation qui doit pouvoir se propager dans le milieu sans autoabsorption.
