Rare-earth inorganic scintillators have characteristics that offer optimal detection qualities for space applications as long a quenching is considered; Incident proton and electron response was measured in four different rare-earth inorganic scintillators of interest; We observed: A temperature effect on quenching for GAGG type detectors. A dopant concentration/decay time effect on quenching for GAGG detectors; Extracting the Birks’ factor for future detectors will improve the analysis of data.
