Abstract :
Detector systems based on inorganic heavy scintillator materials are limited in their performance due to severe radiation damage caused by hadrons. The present paper investigates a series of medium heavy crystalline and glass ceramic samples using 150 MeV protons for irradiation studies. New materials, such as DSB:Ce show very promising features.
