Scintillation detectors for x-rays

Abstract: Recent research in the field of phosphor and scintillator materials and related detectors is reviewed. After a historical introduction the fundamental issues are explained regarding the interaction of x-ray radiation with a solid state. Crucial parameters and characteristics important for the performance of these materials in applications, including the employed measurement methods, are described. Extended description of the materials currently in use or under intense study is given. Scintillation detector con… Show more

“…Attempts at multi-frame imaging with these slow detectors causes ghosting and saturation (photo bleaching) by subsequent images. 37 Improved methods for extracting data from suboptically recorded images like the ones shown in this paper provide a possible route for data analysis using detectors near their temporal limits.…”

“…A single crystal scintillator was used to convert the X-ray signal to visible light, which can then be magnified and recorded by a high-speed optical camera. The scintillator was Lu 3 Al 5 O 12 :Ce or LuAG:Ce (Crytur Ltd, Czech Republic) with dimensions of 10 × 10 × 0.1 mm, a decay time of 45-55 ns, and an emission spectrum peak of 530 nm [27,31]. This decay time, along with the short duration of exposure to the superbunch (500 ns), was much shorter than the frame separation (n × 3.68 µs).…”
