Abstract
Radiation resistance of 4Ã4Ã30Â mm3 GSO and LSO imaging scintillation detectors has been studied for low-energy gamma-ray doses of 104Â Gy (106Â rad) and 105Â Gy (107Â rad). Radiation hardness was determined by the measurement of optical transmission through GSO and LSO scintillation crystals before and after irradiations with 60Co gamma-rays. The results have been analysed in terms of the radiation-induced absorption coefficients and compared with radiation sensitivity measurements of small BGO scintillation crystals. The recovery time of irradiated small GSO and LSO crystals has also been determined.
