Abstract

New dense oxide glass scintillator has been discovered in the system: B₂O₃-SiO₂-Al₂O₃- Gd₂O₃ doped with trivalence cerium. This scintillator has a unique combination of properties including high scintillating light output, high density and desirable emission wavelength, large radiation hardness, short radiation length, and easy to produce in large size and low price. Here we compare the properties with those of the two recently developed dense scintillators: Ce³⁺-doped fluorophosphate glass and Ce³⁺-doped fluorohafnate glass, and with those of the three most widely used scintillating crystals Ce:YAP,CeF₃ and BGO.
