摘要
The state of the art of fast scintillator development is considered. Decay curves of some scintillators measured at pulsed (0.5 ns) X-ray excitation are presented. Literature results are analyzed and summarized. It is shown that radiative core-valence transitions are best suited for subnanosecond and nanosecond scintillations, while rare earth ions show efficient scintillation with decay constants of tens of nanoseconds in oxygen-based crystals. Emissions from both Ce3+ ions and core-valence transitions in a crystal are particularly useful for neutron/gamma discrimination. Promising emission mechanisms are proposed to be used in fast scintillators. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
