Ce3+-doped scintillators: status and properties of (Y,Lu) aluminium perovskites and garnets

Scintillation response [Nphels(E) and LY(E) yields and energy resolutions] of well-defined and efficient Ce3+-doped aluminium perovskite (YAP) and garnets (YAG and LuAG) was investigated using the experimental set-up with HPMT multiplier. Possibilities of increasing scintillation response with growth of mixed (Y,Lu) crystals or with suitable co-doping are presented and also the influence of re-absorption of Ce3+ emission.
