Hello
During a simulation of light in gamma-scintillator interaction, it seems that there are a lot of Cerenkov photons. I don't know their contribution to the final intensity (it will need a long time to compute it).
The textbooks usually say that the gamma ray will produce secondary electrons, and at the end the pair electron-hole will recombine through an intermediate level and this will produce the scintillation light.
So, the question is: how much these Cerenkov photons contribute to the final intensity of the scintillation light?
It seems that Cerenkov photons produced by gamma rays are being used in medical imaging

Thank you for your time.
