Experimental study of the fast scintillating behavior of ZnO:Ga crystal under MeV electron beam

An experimental study on the scintillating behavior of ZnO:Ga crystals was conducted using a 7-MeV electron accelerator. The ZnO:Ga crystals were grown using both hydrothermal and chemical vapor transport methods. One of the ZnO:Ga crystals grown via the hydrothermal method exhibited a 1.5-ns afterg...

Description
Summary:An experimental study on the scintillating behavior of ZnO:Ga crystals was conducted using a 7-MeV electron accelerator. The ZnO:Ga crystals were grown using both hydrothermal and chemical vapor transport methods. One of the ZnO:Ga crystals grown via the hydrothermal method exhibited a 1.5-ns afterglow time when excited by an MeV electron beam. The ultra-short scintillation was captured using both an ultrafast streak camera and a framed camera. The experimental results also confirm its potential for diagnosing electron beam trains with a repetition rate of hundreds of MHz.
