Because of its fast scintillation peaked at 220 nm with a decay time less than 0.6 ns, barium fluoride crystals have attracted broad interest in the community pursuing ultrafast detectors for future high energy physics (HEP) experiments and GHz hard X-ray imaging free-electron laser (XFEL) facilities. A crucial issue application is spectral response photodetectors down to vacuum ultraviolet (VU...

The paper analyzes the problems that arise when assessing energy technical light output by existing methods. A modern alternative method for of various scintillators produced Institute Scintillation Materials National Academy Sciences Ukraine is described.

Over the last few decades many techniques have been developed for determination of Sr/Y in the environment. Čerenkov counting technique (developed in the 1960s) is widely used, but can be further developed by the application of emerging technologies. For example, it is believed that the application of the triple-to-double coincidence ratio (TDCR) liquid scintillation counting method can be used...

A characteristic of every inorganic scintillator crystal is its light yield, i.e., the amount emitted scintillation photons per unit energy deposited in crystal. Light yield known to be usually non-linear with energy, which impacts spectroscopic properties scintillator. Cerium-doped gadolinium-aluminium-gallium garnet (GAGG:Ce) a recently developed several interesting properties, make it very p...

The scintillation mechanism in NaI:Tl crystals produces different pulse shapes that are dependent on the incoming particle type. time distribution of light from nuclear recoil events decays faster than for electron and this difference can be categorised using various Pulse Shape Discrimination (PSD) techniques. In study, we measured recoils a crystal, with equivalent energies between 2 40 keV. ...
