Cerium-doped lutetium oxyorthosilicate: a fast, efficient new scintillator
TL;DR: In this article, a single-crystal inorganic scintillator, cerium-doped lutetium oxyorthosilicate (Lu/sub 2(1-x)/Ce/sub2x/(SiO/sub 4/) or LSO, was discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
A promising new scintillator: cerium-doped lutetium oxyorthosilicate
TL;DR: In this paper, a new inorganic single crystal scintillator, Lu2(SiO4)O:Ce (or "LSO") was discovered, which has a unique combination of properties including high emission intensity, fast decay time, high density, and high atomic number.

TL;DR: In this paper, a thermoluminescence sensitivity technique was used to measure the degree of metamorphism experienced by unequilibrated ordinary chondrites, and a scheme for subdividing types of chondrite based on their sensitivity was proposed.
Journal Article
Scintillation crystals for PET.
TL;DR: A recently developed scintillator crystal, cerium-doped lutetium oxyorthosilicate, appears to surpass all previously used materials in most respects and promises to be the basis for the next generation of PET cameras.
Journal ArticleDOI
UV and gamma-ray excited luminescence of cerium-doped rare-earth oxyorthosilicates
TL;DR: In this article, the gamma-ray and UV-excitation of cerium-doped rare-earth oxyorthosilicates (RE = Y, Gd, and Lu) has been used to investigate the emission mechanism for this family of scintillators.
