Abstract :
We have introduced a new scintillator: cerium doped lutetium pyrosilicate Lu2Si2O7 (Ce: LPS). A high light output (average value: 26,300 ph/MeV), a relatively good energy resolution (10%) and a fast decay time (38 ns) without afterglow make this new scintillator very attractive. We compare its properties to those of another recently developed cerium doped lutetium based silicate, Ce: Lu2(1-x)Y2xSiO5 (LYSO).
