Permanent link: | http://hdl.handle.net/10197/8715 | Date: | Jun-2015 | 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. | Type of material: | Journal Article | Publisher: | IOP Publishing | Keywords: | Glass-ceramic; Scintillator; Gamma-ray astronomy | DOI: | 10.1088/1742-6596/620/1/012002 | Language: | en | Status of Item: | Peer reviewed | Conference Details: | Applications of Novel Scintillators for Research and Industry (ANSRI 2015), Dublin, Ireland, 12–14 January 2015 |
