Abstract
A scintillator, characterized in that it comprises crystals of Pr1-xCexF3 [wherein 0<x<0.5]. It emits a light in ultraviolet and visible regions when it is irradiated with a light or a radiation. The scintillator uses a material which exhibits improved performance with respect to the strength in light emission and to the speed in attenuation, and further is relatively easy in the growth of its crystal.
