LYSO Scintillation Crystal Cerium doped Lutetium

Price:  

LYSO Scintillation Crystal Cerium doped Lutetium
LYSO(Ce) - Lutetium Yttrium Orthosilicate (Lu₂SiO₅:Ce) is a relatively new scintillator crystal that features high density, high light output, short decay time and good radiation resistance. These properties make it ideal for detecting and measuring ionizing radiation such as gamma rays and positrons.

LYSO (Cerium doped Lutetium) is a high-performance inorganic scintillator characterized by its high density, fast decay time, and exceptionally high photon yield. Thanks to its excellent timing resolution and low afterglow, LYSO is widely used in time-of-flight positron emission tomography (TOF-PET), small animal imaging, and high-energy physics detectors.

EBO offers LYSO crystals in a wide range of sizes and geometries, including bars, pixels, and complex array configurations. EBO supports custom fabrication to meet specific detector design requirements. The minimum pixel size EBO can manufacture is 0.2 × 0.2 mm. A variety of surface coatings or reflective materials—such as ESR, BaSO₄, and E20.

Advantage of LYSO Crystal:
High light output - 70% NaI(Tl), 25 photons/keV
High energy resolution, high CTR, energy resolution - <12%
High density - 7.15 g/cm³
Fast decay time - c.45ns
Non-hygroscopic
Various reflector coating technologies (ESR, BaSO4, E60)
Fully customizable
