TL;DR: In this paper, amplitude scintillations in an 11.5 GHz SIRIO-Earth link have been evaluated by means of scintillation index, and hourly values of this index have been compared to the ground temperature measured in a site close to the vertical projection of the path.
Abstract: Analysis of amplitude scintillations in an 11.5 GHz SIRIO-Earth link has been performed. The intensity of scintillations has been evaluated for July 1984 by means of scintillation index. The hourly values of this index have been compared to the ground temperature measured in a site close to the vertical projection of the path. Both scintillation index and temperature seem to follow a similar cyclical behaviour. The relationship between the number of occurrences and the value of the index is also represented, together with a two-segment linear-wise approximation.

TL;DR: In this paper, gas scintillation proportional counter for soft X-rays in the energy range 0.1-1.5 keV is studied, and a significant improvement of the pulse-height distribution is achieved with a mixture of 80% argon and 20% xenon.

TL;DR: In this article, optical and scintillation properties, including longitudinal transmittance, emission and excitation spectra, light output, decay kinetics and light response uniformity, were measured for three long (2.5 × 2.5×20 cm) LSO and LYSO samples from different vendors, and compared to a long BGO sample of the same size.
Abstract: The high energy and nuclear physics community is interested in fast bright heavy crystal scintillators, such as cerium-doped LSO and LYSO. An investigation is being carried out to explore the potential use of the LSO and LYSO crystals in future physics experiments. Optical and scintillation properties, including longitudinal transmittance, emission and excitation spectra, light output, decay kinetics and light response uniformity, were measured for three long (2.5×2.5×20 cm) LSO and LYSO samples from different vendors, and were compared to a long BGO sample of the same size. The degradation of optical and scintillation properties under γ-ray irradiations and the radiation-induced phosphorescence were also measured for two long LYSO samples. Possible applications for a crystal calorimeter in future high energy and nuclear physics experiments are discussed.
