Inorganic scintillators for detector systemsphysical principles and crystal engineering /[electronic resource] :by Paul Lecoq, Alexander Gektin, Mikhail Korzhik. - 2nd ed. - Cham :Springer International Publishing :2017. - xvi, 408 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm. - Particle acceleration and detection,1611-1052. - Particle acceleration and detection..

Preface to the Second edition -- Preface to the First Edition -- Scintillation and Inorganic Scintillators -- How User's Requirements Influence the Development of Scintillators -- Addressing the Increased Demand for Fast Timing -- Scintillation Mechanisms in Inorganic Scintillators -- Energy Resolution and Non-proportionality of Scintillators -- Influence of the Crystal Structure Defects on Scintillation Properties -- Charged Hadron Radiation Damage of Scintillators -- Crystal Engineering -- Examples of Recent Crystal Development -- Conclusion -- Index.

This second edition features new chapters highlighting advances in our understanding of the behavior and properties of scintillators, and the discovery of new families of materials with light yield and excellent energy resolution very close to the theoretical limit. The book focuses on the discovery of next-generation scintillation materials and on a deeper understanding of fundamental processes. Such novel materials with high light yield as well as significant advances in crystal engineering offer exciting new perspectives. Most promising is the application of scintillators for precise time tagging of events, at the level of 100 ps or higher, heralding a new era in medical applications and particle physics. Since the discovery of the Higgs Boson with a clear signature in the lead tungstate scintillating blocks of the CMS Electromagnetic Calorimeter detector, the current trend in particle physics is toward very high luminosity colliders, in which timing performance will ultimately be essential to mitigating pile-up problems. New and extremely fast light production mechanisms based on Hot-Intraband-Luminescence as well as quantum confinement are exploited for this purpose. Breakthroughs such as crystal engineering by means of co-doping procedures and selection of cations with small nuclear fragmentation cross-sections will also pave the way for the development of more advanced and radiation-hard materials. Similar innovations are expected in medical imaging, nuclear physics ecology, homeland security, space instrumentation and industrial applications. This second edition also reviews modern trends in our understanding and the engineering of scintillation materials. Readers will find new and updated references and information, as well as new concepts and inspirations to implement in their own research and engineering endeavors.
