✦ Synopsis

The planned construction of new high energy, high luminosity hadron colliders (the SSC in the United States and the LHC in Europe) has renewed an interest in the particle physics community in the design of new scintillation materiah that will survive the enhanced radiation environment present at the beam-beam intersections. This is a brief overview of the problem for the case of plastic scintillators.

Portal radiation detectors are commonly used by steel industries in the probing and detection of radioactivity contamination in scrap metal. Furthermore, a large number of portal monitors are installed at the border crossings to prevent illegal radioactive material trafficking. These portal detector
