Host–Dopant Engineering of Ce 4+ ‐Dominant Y 3 (Al,Ga) 5 O 12 :Ce,Mg Scintillators for High‐Performance X‐Ray Imaging

ABSTRACT Fast scintillators are essential for advanced X‐ray imaging and time‐of‐flight techniques. Although stabilizing Ce 4+ ions in garnet hosts is an effective strategy for suppressing the afterglow and accelerating scintillation, it often introduces quenching pathways that r...

Development of ultrafast and radiation-hard GAGG for the next-generation of High-Energy Physics calorimeters

The evolution of High Energy Physics (HEP) toward future collider experiments with High Luminosity (HL), such as the HL-LHC, requires the development of scintillating materials that combine high density, excellent radiation hardness and an ultrafast response. While Cerium-doped G...
