The Scintillation of Stars [PDF]
Nature, 1950 IN a recent communication in Nature1, Dr. A. H. R. Goldie has suggested that the scintillation of stars may be associated with waves at an interface between two currents of air which have a difference of temperature of the order of 5–7° F. “Such waves,” he writes, “should not uncommonly have an amplitude of the order of up to 500–1,000 ft.

The Nylon Scintillator Containment Vessels for the Borexino Solar Neutrino Experiment [PDF]
, 2007 Borexino is a solar neutrino experiment designed to observe the 0.86 MeV Be-7 neutrinos emitted in the pp cycle of the sun. Neutrinos will be detected by their elastic scattering on electrons in 100 tons of liquid scintillator. The neutrino event rate in

Cherenkov and scintillation light separation in organic liquid scintillators [PDF]
The European Physical Journal C, 2017 The CHErenkov / Scintillation Separation experiment (CHESS) has been used to demonstrate the separation of Cherenkov and scintillation light in both linear alkylbenzene (LAB) and LAB with 2g/L of PPO as a fluor (LAB/PPO). This is the first such demonstration for the more challenging LAB/PPO cocktail and improves on previous results for LAB.

Vision Research, 2003 The scintillating grid is a recently discovered visual illusion, created by superimposing white discs on the intersections of orthogonal gray bars on a black background. Even though the entire display is stationary, observers perceive dark spots appearing and disappearing rapidly within some of the white discs.
