Abstract
Fast and slow components of responses of scintillation detectors based on BaF2 crystals and nanoceramics with various activators are studied by the registration of annihilation gamma-quanta with an energy of 511 keV. A comparative analysis of the obtained results for the determination of promising scintillators for the development of detectors with high time and pulse height resolution is carried out.
