Ce:YAP
Cerium doped yttrium aluminum (Ce:YAP) is a fast scintillation crystal with excellent performance. It has high light output, fast decay time, good thermal stability and mechanical properties, and stable chemical properties. Ce:YAP scintillation crystals are mainly used in fast gamma-ray detection, animal PET scanning systems, electronic imaging (SEM), high-energy physics, low- and medium-energy X-ray two-dimensional imaging and other fields.
