LSO(Ce)

Ce doping Lu2SiO5 is a good scintillation material and has been found a wide range of applications in high energy physics, nuclear physics, space physics, nuclear medicine, geological exploration, anti-terrorism and other industries. The sensitivity is higher than BGO, and the systems made from Ce: Lu2SiO5 is much more time-saving than the BGO systems, it is a potential crystals for scintillating industries.
