摘要
Measurements of the temperature dependence, over a 400°C range, of the scintillation yield of CeF3 are presented. A separation of the fast (≈ 5 ns) and slow (30 ns) components is made at room temperature and at liquid nitrogen temperature. It is estimated that the fast component increases from 33% to 60% when the crystal is cooled. The use of inexpensive starting material reduces the slow component with little or no loss of fast component. Applications for CeF3, primarily high-rate PET, are also discussed. © 1990.
