Description

LuAG(Ce) | Scintillation Crystal is a rugged, mechanically and chemically stable scintillator ideal for photodiode and avalanche diode readout.

LuAG(Ce) | Scintillation Crystal is a relatively dense and fast scintillation material. Its characteristics include fast decay time, high density, and mechanical and chemical stability. LuAG(Ce) can be machined into a variety of shapes and sizes, including prisms, spheres, and very thin plates. The wavelength of scintillation emission is about 535 nm, which is ideal for photodiode and avalanche diode readout. The material can also be used for imaging screens, similar to YAG(Ce). A particular advantage of LuAG(Ce) is its higher density, resulting in thinner screens with higher spatial resolution.
