A detector of ionizing radiation comprises a photodetector and a scintillator in the shape of truncated cone comprising a large base, a small base and a lateral surface, the large base of the scintillator being coupled to the photodetector, any half-angle at the apex of the cone being in the range between 5&#xb0; and 35&#xb0;, the lateral face being coated with a black coating. The detector in accordance with an embodiment can produce a very short pulse.

Detector with a conical scintillator

A scintillator material comprises a rare-earth halide coated with a layer comprising a resin and a pigment. In an embodiment, the scintillator material is used in an ionizing-radiation detector, and in particular embodiment, a gamma camera. The layer can adhere well and act as an absorbent or reflector depending on the color of the pigment.
