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.
BGO (Bi4Ge3O12) is a high Z, high-density scintillation material. Due to the high atomic number of bismuth (83) and the material's high density of 7.13 g/cm3, BGO is a very efficient gamma-ray absorber. Given the high Z value of the material, the photo fraction for gamma-ray absorption is high and as a result, very good peak-to-total ratios are observed.
BC-452 detects low-energy (<100 keV) at high count rates. The standard material contains 1% or 2% lead by weight. The plastic incorporates the lead by means of organic-metallic chemistry which yields a clear scintillator.
Plastic scintillating, wavelength-shifting and light-transmitting fiber canes, spools, ribbons and arrays are produced for research and industry.
