For proton-rich nuclei, charged particle emission competes with beta decay and electron capture. One notable region of this competition is the nuclei northeast of 100Sn, where alpha-decay becomes prominent, and the proton drip line competes with proton emitters; see the cases of as 109I and 108I [1,2]. With decreasing half-lives close to the drip line, scintillators become optimal for...
Scintillator-based detection systems are in wide use since many years and in many applications ranging from nuclear and particle physics experiments to medical imaging and security. Their physical properties like density, light yield, linearity of the detector response and operational speed, but also their resistance to harsh radiation load, their insensitivity to small changes in operational...
