LSO(Ce) scintillation crystal — high light output, fast decay, non-hygroscopic for gamma detection.

Description

LSO(Ce) Scintillation Crystal is an inorganic scintillation crystal with high light output, fast decay time, excellent radio resistance, and high detection efficiency. It is non-hygroscopic and stable. Its emission peak matches the photomultiplier receiving range. It is especially suited for gamma ray detection. Its radio resistance suits high-dose duty. The material is lutetium oxyorthosilicate.

LSO(Ce) Scintillation Crystal advantages

High light output. Fast decay time. Excellent radio resistance. High detection efficiency. Non-hygroscopic. Stable. Speed plus brightness in one crystal. Fast decay supports coincidence timing. Stability keeps calibration across time. High efficiency means smaller crystals suffice. Radio resistance suits reactor duty. Dry storage is one less worry.

LSO(Ce) Scintillation Crystal for gamma rays

Emission peak matches the PMT receiving range. High detection efficiency catches gamma photons. Spectra are bright and fast. Non-hygroscopic means no sealed can. Matched emission boosts PMT signal. Fast decay suits high count rates. Bright signals, clean timing. High efficiency shortens scan times.

Typical applications

Nuclear medicine. Nuclear physics. High energy physics. Geologic survey. Field surveys value ruggedness. Match the crystal to the energy range. High energy physics needs the speed. Nuclear medicine values reliability. The classic gamma jobs. For a classic gamma scintillator, see our NaI(Tl) Scintillation Crystal.
