Abstract
- By means of a photomultiplier tube, a Si-photodiode, and a Si-avalanche photodiode, the absolute scintillation yield of recently developed La[Br.sub.3]:Ce, La[Cl.sub.3]:Ce, and [(Lu, Y).sub.2]Si[O.sub.5]:Ce scintillators and traditional [Lu.sub.2]Si[O.sub.5]:Ce, [Bi.sub.4][Ge.sub.3][O.sub.12], NaI:Tl CsI:Tl, and CsI:Na scintillators were determined. These are all well known scintillators that cover emission wavelengths from 250 nm to 750 nm. By comparing the scintillation yield independently measured with the three different photon detectors reliable yield values are obtained. Index Terms--Absolute scintillation yield, gamma detectors, photodiode readout, scintillators.
