As nouns the difference between phosphorescence and scintillation

is that phosphorescence is the emission of light without any perceptible heat; the quality of being phosphorescent while scintillation is a flash of light; a spark.

In physics terms the difference between scintillation and fluorescence

is that scintillation is the flash of light produced by a phosphor when it absorbs ionizing radiation while fluorescence is the emission of light (or other electromagnetic radiation) by a material when stimulated by the absorption of radiation or of a subatomic particle.
