Abstract :
The results of a 3-MeV-proton irradiation test on two yttrium orthosilicate doped with cerium (YOS:Ce) crystal samples are reported. The principle goal of this test was to determine the proton dose required to reduce the resulting YOS:Ce fluorescence light to half of its original value (half brightness dose) at ambient temperature and 150°C. Results from this test will also provide basic information concerning potential changes in spectral composition and fluorescence peak widths for YOS:Ce at ambient temperature and 150°C
