CERAMIC SCINTILLATOR BODY AND SCINTILLATION DEVICE

摘要

A polycrystalline ceramic scintillator body includes a ceramic scintillating material comprising an oxide of gadolinium (Gd) and a second rare earth element (Re). The ceramic scintillating material has a composition, expressed in terms of molar percentage of oxide constituents, that includes greater than fifty-five percent (55%) Gd2O3 and a minority percentage Of Re2O3. The ceramic scintillating material includes an activator.
