Radiation resistance of composite scintillators containing grains of organic or inorganic single crystals has been analysed. The analysis is based on the study of composite scintillators containing grains Gd2SiO5:Ce (GSO:Ce), Gd2Si2O7:Ce (GPS:Ce), Al2O3:Ti, Y2SiO5:Ce (YSO:Ce) or Y3Al5O12:Ce (YAG:Ce). This paper presents the results
of research and suggests possible mechanisms as well as processes of radiation changes that occur in scintillators due to irradiation. It also discusses how these effects can affect the scintillation characteristics of composite scintillators exposed to radiation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
