Scintillation Resource Selector
This tool is designed to narrow down the available resources through a series of application details. By using the filters the many documents on this website and the products offered will be reduced to the most obvious.
This should be used as a guide as there are many aspects to consider when choosing a scintillator and product packaging. The final selection for your specific application should be discussed with your sales representative.
Criteria
Scintillators that can detect both gamma-rays and neutrons in one
CsI(Tl) scintillator has a light output of 54 photons/keV and is one of the brightest scintillators known. It has most of its emission in the long-wavelength part of the spectrum (>500nm), it is well-suited for photodiode readout.
NaILTM has the ability to detect Gamma radiation and Thermal Neutrons in a single crystal with exceptional PSD [FoM = 3.0].
CdWO4 high light output and low afterglow make it ideal for use with silicon photodiodes in detectors for medical and industrial CT scanners. CdWO4 has very good radiation resistance, and its temperature dependence is small in the 0 to 60oC range. Its high density makes it a good choice for 300+ keV imaging for container and vehicle scanning.
LaBr3(Ce) and LaBr3(Ce+Sr) scintillation materials offer superior energy resolution, fast emission, excellent linearity and temperature stability.
NaI(Tl) has a very high luminescence (scintillation) efficiency and is available in single crystal or polycrystalline forms in a wide variety of sizes and geometries. The material exhibits no significant self-absorption of the scintillation light. NaI
