Abstract

We investigated luminescence and scintillation properties of the Gd₃Al₂Ga₃O₁₂ : Ce (GAGG) crystal grown in TPS(Total Polishing Solution) Co.. The GAGG crystal has the highest light yield among oxide crystal at room temperature and fast decay time for the detection of radioactivity and in nuclear and particle physics experiments and medical imaging. The scintillation properties of the GAGG crystal were studied by comparing the GAGG crystals grown by two companies. We measured an X-ray induced emission spectra, an energy resolution, an absolute light yield and a decay time. A pulse shape discrimination capability for a and g-ray was also demonstrated.
