Abstract

The invention relates to an inorganic scintillator material of formula Lu(2−y)Y(y−z−x)CexMzSi(1−v)M′vO5, in which: In particular, this material may equip scintillation detectors for applications in industry, for the medical field (scanners) and/or for detection in oil drilling, The presence of Ca in the crystal reduces the afterglow, while stopping power for high-energy radiation remains high.
