Abstract
Currently, the known method of shortening the scintillation response of scintillation material is to suppress the amplitude-minor slower components of the scintillation response, whereas the possibilities of significant shortening of the amplitude-dominant component of the scintillation response in this method are limited. The invention concerns the method of shortening the scintillation response of scintillator luminescence centres which uses co-doping with Ce or Pr together with co-doping with ions from the lanthanoids, 3d transition metals, 4d transition metals or 5sor 6sions group. Having had the luminescence centres electrons excited as a result of absorbed electromagnetic radiation, the scintillator created in this method is capable of taking away a part of the energy from the excited luminescence centres via a non-radiative energy transfer, which results in a significant shortening of the time of duration of the amplitude-dominant component of the scintillation response.
