Description

Quality testing and studies on scintillation phenomena in cerium-doped silicate glasses produced by Messrs. Schott u. Gen. A correlation was found between light yield and phosphorescence. The phenomenon of self-absorption of scintillation light in the glass is an important factor in view of the fact that large slabs of scintillation glass are required as shower detector material. Measurements of the energy resolution of shower detectors of cerium glass were carried out at photon energies between 50 MeV and 85 MeV. (HP)

Abstract (German)

Qualitaetsueberpruefung und Untersuchungen von Szintillationsphaenomenen in Cer-dotierten Silikatglaesern, die von Fa. Schott u. Gen. hergestellt wurden. Eine Korrelation zwischen Lichtausbeute und Phosphoreszenz wurde festgestellt. Das Phaenomen der Selbstabsorption von Szintillationslicht im Glas ist von Bedeutung, da die Anwendung des Szintillationsglases als Schauerdetektormaterial grosse Bloecke erfordert. Messungen der Energieaufloesung von Schauerdetektoren aus Cerglas fuer Photonen zwischen 50 MeV und 85 MeV wurden durchgefuehrt. (HP)
