Scintilation crystals

Cerium doped yttrium-aluminum garnet (Ce: LuAG) is a well established scintillator and has many attractive properties, such as fast decay (80ns), high light yield, emission peaks at 510nm that well matched with the sensitivity of commercial Si-CCD detectors as well as good mechanical and chemical stability

GAGG (Ce) – Gadolinium Aluminum Gallium Garnet (Gd₃Al₂Ga₃O₁₂), doped with Ce is a newly developed scintillator. It is one of the brightest available scintillators with an emission peak at 520nm. GAGG (Ce) has good stopping power, is physically rugged and well suited to a broad range of applications

Robust with good mechanically characteristics

Applications: Medical imaging – PET, PEM, SPECT and CT

Specialist applications in high energy, nuclear, space and medical physics

Ce: GAGG crystal exhibits stable physical and chemical properties, high thermal conductivity, and resistance to harsh environments. It exhibits excellent scintillating performance, for example, high scintillating efficiency, high light yield, and fast decay time. Ce: GAGG crystals are widely used in photomultiplier tubes, photoelectric counters, scintillation screens, and other devices. And used in high-energy particle detection and other fields, such as beta rays, gamma rays

In particular, the linear response of GAGG crystals to gamma rays indicates that Ce: GAGG crystals are a promising medical imaging technology, such as X-ray photography, X-ray computed tomography (CT), and positron emission tomography (PET)
