Glass scintillators are most commonly used for neutron detection since the glasses are often enriched in Lithium-6.

CsI(Tl) scintillator has a light output of 54 photons/keV and is one of the brightest scintillators known.  It has most of its emission in the long-wavelength part of the spectrum (>500nm), it is well-suited for photodiode readout.

BGO (Bi₄Ge₃O₁₂) is a high Z, high-density scintillation material. Due to the high atomic number of bismuth (83) and the material's high density of 7.13 g/cm³, BGO is a very efficient gamma-ray absorber. Given the high Z value of the material, the photo fraction for gamma-ray absorption is high and as a result, very good peak-to-total ratios are observed.
