Claims20
A scintillator comprising:
- a microcolumnar scintillator material selected from the group consisting of strontium halide, calcium halide, cerium halide, and cesium barium halide.
A radiation detection device, comprising:
- a scintillator comprising a microcolumnar scintillator material selected from the group consisting of strontium halide, calcium halide, cerium halide, and cesium barium halide;
- and
- a photodetector assembly optically coupled to the scintillator.
A method of performing radiation detection, comprising:
- providing a radiation detection device comprising a scintillator and a photodetector assembly optically coupled to the scintillator, wherein the scintillator comprises a microcolumnar scintillator material selected from the group consisting of strontium halide, calcium halide, cerium halide, and cesium barium halide;
- and
- positioning a radiation source within a field of view of the scintillator so as to detect emissions from the radiation source.
