LARGE AREA SCINTILLATOR PANELS WITH DOPING

A method of making a scintillator material includes forming a dried ceramic composition into a ceramic body with a garnet crystal formula (Gd3-x-zYx)Cez(Ga5-yAly)O12, where x is about 0 to about 2, y is about 0 to about 5, and z is about 0.001 to about 1.0. The ceramic body is sintered to form a sin...

Zusammenfassung:A method of making a scintillator material includes forming a dried ceramic composition into a ceramic body with a garnet crystal formula (Gd3-x-zYx)Cez(Ga5-yAly)O12, where x is about 0 to about 2, y is about 0 to about 5, and z is about 0.001 to about 1.0. The ceramic body is sintered to form a sintered ceramic body. The sintered ceramic body is surrounded by a powder mixture that includes a garnet powder. The density of the sintered ceramic body is increased by applying an increased temperature and isostatic pressure to form the scintillator material.
