Abstract
The spectra of pulsed cathodoluminescence (PCL) of CsI:Tl, YAG:Ge3+,Tb3+, and LFS-3 crystals excited by high-power (∼10 MW) short-time (∼2 ns) action of an electron beam with an average particle energy of ∼150 keV have been compared to the spectra of steady-state luminescence of the same crystals under the action of γ-photons with an energy of 511 keV emitted from a radioactive 22Na sample. It is established that the two spectra are identical, which allows the PCL method to be used for rapid analysis of scintillation crystals.
