The scintillator panel is a doped plastic that emits light in response to being struck by an electron, alpha particle, ion, or high energy photon. The light emitted is then reflected until it hits the embedded fibre that can absorb that light, and retransmit at the lower green frequency. This green light is captured and guided by the fibre to the end of the panel where it can be read out. Each event is expected to produce about 30 photons, with a lower number reaching the sensor placed on the fibre side.
