Abstract

Abstract We report on the scintillation properties of Y2SiO5 (YSO) single crystals doped with different concentrations of Pr3+. Dipole allowed transitions from the lowest 4f5d level of Pr3+ to 4f2 levels cause a fast scintillation emission component (τ ≈ 30 ns) in the wavelength range 260-350 nm.
