The protons knocked by the neutrons impinging on the liq. scint. will excite the molecules of the liq. scintillator (and lose some energy while doing so). The excited molecules will lose their excess energy by emitting light photons.<BR/><BR/>This is in a nutshell.<BR/><BR/>ilmorIlanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10814634682254344191noreply@blogger.com
