A new method for measurements of the scintillation characteristics of materials has been developed. This method, called multiple photon counting coincidence (MPCC) technique, is based on the recording of a sequence of individual photon pulses resulting from a scintillation event. The distribution of the arrival times of these individual photon pulses provides information about the decay characteristic of the scintillation process and the number of photons recorded per scintillation event is proportional to the scintillation light yield. The ability to reject spurious events through off-line analysis is an important advantage of the MPCC method since it allows cleaning of the data set from pile-up events. It is shown that the MPCC technique is particularly well suited for the analysis of slow scintillation processes in the investigation of temperature-dependant scintillator properties. It is now used extensively by our group for the identification and optimisation of scintillating targets for cryogenic low-background rare event searches, such as Dark Matter and 0-ν double beta decay experiments.
