NOVEL LANTHANIDE DOPED BARIUM MIXED HALIDE SCINTILLATORS

摘要

The present invention provides for a composition comprising an inorganic scintillator comprising a lanthanide-doped barium mixed halide useful for detecting nuclear material. The present invention also provides for a composition comprising essentially of a mixture of halide salts useful for producing the inorganic scintillator, wherein the halide salts are powdered crystals and are essentially pure.
