TL;DR: A ternary metal halide scintillator, potassium strontium iodide, activated with divalent europium (KSr 2 I 5 :Eu) has been discovered.

TL;DR: In this article, the temperature dependence of GSO:Ce was investigated to better evaluate its applicability as a gamma-ray detector for nuclear well logging applications and it was noted that the main advantage of the GSO, compared to other scintillators that can be used for well-logging applications, is the increase in detection efficiency, which can be achieved without the need for cooling the detector.

TL;DR: In this paper, the origins of two decay constants in the scintillation decay of cerium-doped gadolinium oxyorthosilicate (Gd_2(SiO_4)O:Ce) are investigated using UV light.

TL;DR: In this article, an additional co-dopant can be used to restore adequate surface tension and thus stabilize growth with no negative impact on the scintillation properties of the crystal.

TL;DR: In this article, the photoelectron number was measured by two different methods: the direct one based on a comparison of the full energy peak to that of the single photo-electron and by a method based on the pulse height resolution of the peak due to the light pulser.
