Ce:YAP
Ce:YAP is a high-temperature scintillation crystal with excellent performance. Its high light yield, fast decay time (about 27ns) and neutron-sensitivity characteristics have attracted increasing interest from researchers abroad. Its emission wavelength is 350-390nm, matching the response range of photomultiplier tubes, and it has good intrinsic energy resolution (1.3-3.4%). It has strong stopping power for charged particles and high γ-ray detection efficiency, while being relatively insensitive to neutrons. It can therefore distinguish and measure γ rays in mixed neutron–γ radiation fields. Ce:YAP also has good thermodynamic and chemical properties, is non-deliquescent, is easy to process, withstands high temperatures and resists radiation. These properties offer broad application prospects in high-energy ray detection and nuclear medicine. Ce:YAP — a high-light-yield, fast-decay scintillation crystal with an emission wavelength of 360nm for γ-ray detection. Ce:YAP shows good scintillation-response linearity for γ quanta down to energies of a few keV, together with high energy resolution, benefiting precision spectroscopy in the X-ray range. Because the ions forming the YAP matrix are relatively light, the attenuation factor depends linearly on energy, and very good energy resolution can be achieved in the low-energy range of γ quanta. Its excellent energy resolution for γ rays from a 137Cs source is 5.7%, among the best measured with scintillation detectors. For 60Co γ rays at a threshold of 1 MeV, its very good time resolution is 160 ps.
