Scintillation Cerium-doped Silicate Yttrinm Lutetium Crystal (Ce:LYSO) is a new inorganic scintillation crystal of excellent performances.It has the advantages of high light output, fast decay time, good radiation hardness, high density,a high effective atomic numbers, high detection efficiency of y rays, non-hygroscopicity and stable physical and...

Bismuth Germanate (Bi4Ge3012 or BGO) is one of the most widely used scintillation materials of the oxide type. It has high atomic number and density values. Detectors based on BGO have volume 10 - 4 times and mass 5 - 7 times less than those with Alkali Halide scintillators. BGO is mechanically strong enough, rugged, non-hygroscopic, and has no...

Thallium doped Sodium Iodide NaI(Tl) is the most widely used scintillation material. NaI(TI) is used traditionally in nuclear medicine, environmental measurements, geophysics, medium-energy physics, etc. It's great light output among scintillators, convenient emission range (in coincidence with maximum efficiency region of photomultiplier (PMT)...

Cesium Iodide doped with Sodium CsI(Na) is a widely used material nowadays. High light output (85% of that of NaI(TI)), emission in the blue spectral region (in coincidence with the maximum sensitivity range of the most popular PMT with bialkali photocatodes), and substantially lower hygroscopicity in comparison with that of NaI(TI) makes this...

The maximum of the broad emission situated at 550nm which allows Si-photodiodes to be used to detect the emission. The use of a scintillator-photodiode pair makes it possible to diminish significantly the size of the detecting system (due to the use of photodiode instead of PMT), to do without high-voltage supply source, and to use detecting...
