LYSO(Ce)

LYSO crystal is an ideal generation scintillator crystal, it has the advantages of high light output and density, quick decay time, excellent energy resolution and low cost. These properties make LYSO an ideal candidate for a range of ray detection applications in nuclear physics and nuclear medicine, which require higher, improved timing resolution and superior energy revolution. We can provide LYSO in any volumes required and can supply finished pixel or pre-assembled customer-specific arrays or module configurations.
