ˇˇ ˇˇBGO
is a new scintillant and it has been more and more widely applied
with the features of high stopping power, short scintilla attenuation
time, small afterglow, stable chemical performance and strong machinery
strength. BGO's scintilla attenuation time is 0.3¦Ěs and its strongest
radiation wavelength is 480mm which are similiar with those of NaI(TL),
so the application of BGO has no special requirement to photomultiplier
tube and electronics circuit.Its absorption coefficient to r-ray is
2.5 times the same as that of NaI(TL) since it contains high Z element(Z-83)
and has big density(7.13/cm3). |
