A scintillator absorbs an incident flux of 5.2 MeV alpha particles that totals 3.4 x 10⁶ particles/s. The scintillation efficiency for these particles is 4.4%, and the average wavelength of the emitted light is 420 nm. If the scintillator is coupled to a photodiode with an average quantum efficiency of 75% for the scintillation light and the light collection efficiency is 73%, estimate the expected signal from the photodiode when operated in current mode.
