CaF2(Eu) Scintillator:

Description

CaF2(Eu) Scintillator:

CaF2(Eu) is a transparent material used for detecting Gamma ray up to several hundred Kev and charged
particles. It has low atomic number which makes CaF2(Eu) an ideal material for the detection of β particles
because of the small amount of backscattering. CaF2(Eu) is not hygroscopic and is relatively inert. It has a
sufficiently high resistance to thermal and mechanical shock, good mechanic prop rety for processing to variety
of detector geometries.
Advantage:
Good mechanic property
Chemically inert
Inherent low background radiation
Application:
Gamma ray detection
β-particles detection
