Abstract

New LuScSiO5 crystals with intrinsic luminescence are grown by the Czochralski method. Pulsed cathodoluminescence spectra of new scintillators and their scintillation decay times are studied for the first time. Using 662-keV γ-rays from the 137Cs source, amplitude distributions of the number of luminescence counts (so-called photopeaks) are measured for new crystals. It is shown that the light yield of LuScSiO5 crystals is 13 500 photons/MeV.
