Abstract
The present invention relates to quaternary compound scintillators and related devices and methods. The scintillators may include, for example, a mixed halide scintillator composition including at least two different CsLiLa halide compounds and a dopant. Related detection devices and methods are further included.
Claims11
A method of performing radiation detection comprising:
- providing a detection device including a detector assembly comprising a mixed halide scintillator composition, the mixed halide scintillator composition comprising at least two different halide compounds, wherein the first halide compound comprises Cs, Li and a halide and a second halide compound comprises Cs, Li and a halide;
- providing a photodetector assembly optically coupled to the scintillator composition;
- and
- positioning the device such that a radiation source is within a field of view of the scintillator composition so as to detect emissions from the source.
