Recent developments in scintillator research

Conference · · IEEE Trans. Nucl. Sci.; (United States)
OSTI ID:6359321
Some results of recent scintillator research are presented. A description of the scintillation mechanisms of BaF/sub 2/, and of the influence of Pb/sup 2/ and La/sup 3/+ doping on the scintillation characteristics is given. Furthermore, the UV scintillation properties of LaF/sub 3/:Nd/sup 3/+ are discussed. Scintillation light (lambda=173 nm) emitted by this crystal can be detected in a photosensitive MWPC. The decay time of the emission is 6 ns.
