| Title: | Development of glass-ceramic scintillators for gamma-ray astronomy | Authors: | de Faoite, Daithí; Hanlon, Lorraine; Roberts, O.; Ulyanov, A.; McBreen, Sheila; Tobin, I.; Stanton, Kenneth T. | Permanent link: | http://hdl.handle.net/10197/8715 | Date: | Jun-2015 | Online since: | 2017-08-14T15:34:46Z | Abstract: | Scintillators synthesised as glass-ceramics have several potential benefits compared to the currently-used halide scintillators, including non-hygroscopicity, mechanical ruggedness, ease of producing customisable shapes, and the potential for low-cost synthesis. The use of these scintillators is considered for a gamma-ray telescope operating in the 0.2 MeV¿50 MeV photon range. Inorganic scintillator compounds suitable for incorporation into glass-ceramics are assessed. In addition, several families of glass suitable for use as hosts for scintillating compounds are also reviewed. | Funding Details: | European Space Agency V0739 |
