Abstract :
A YAP scintillator (YAlO3: Ce crystal) for α counting has been produced in powder form and this paper describes its performance characteristics. By measuring pulse-height and rise-time distributions, it was found that the YAP powder, as a fast detector for α rays, could clearly distinguish α events from β and γ events. In addition, the YAP powder was used in a phoswich detector combined with a YAG (Y3Al5O12: Ce) crystal for β and γ detection.
