Quenching from the melt using an Optical Floating Zone furnace was investigated as a possible high-throughput preparation method in order to screen novel scintillating materials. To validate this method, polycrystalline rare-earth aluminum garnets and yttrium gallium aluminum garnets were synthesized and characterized by X-ray diffraction, photoluminescence and radioluminescence emission spectra as well as radioluminescence imaging and compared to the previously reported properties of those materials. In order to achieve rapid, but quantitative comparison of the materials, pellets fabricated from the synthesized powders were sintered; two different sintering conditions were investigated and compared. Therefore, a simplistic energy deposition and light absorption model for brightness of opaque samples under X-ray irradiation was developed to estimate the relative scintillation efficiency of the materials. Based on the results, Y₃Al₅O₁₂, LuY₂Al₅O₁₂ and GdY₂Al₅O₁₂ seem to have the highest scintillation efficiency among the prepared samples.
