Glass scintillator is a one of good candidate for scintillation material. As we known, glass is an amorphous material, which has many defects and created traps in lattice. Hence, electrons cannot migrate to luminescence center, resulting to scintillation efficiency still low. The question is, how can scintillation efficiency of glass be enhanced. In this presentation, scintillation mechanism of glass has been explained and some results were discussed are as follows: (1) Increasing of glass density (2) Reducing amorphous level by re-heated process (3) Reducing the OH group by adding fluoride component (4) Adding sensitizer component for energy transfer process, and (5) Reducing of optical loss. All parameters will discuss for future glass scintillator development. |
