Abstract
Application of crystalline materials in ionizing radiation detectors has played a crucial role in the discovery of properties of matter. Future detector concepts at HEP experiments will require a tolerable level of radiation damage in particular caused by energetic hadrons: minor deterioration of the optical transmission, low level of afterglow and radio-luminescence. From systematic studies of the radiation hardness of inorganic optical and scintillation materials we concluded that both oxide and fluoride crystals composed of atoms with atomic numbers below 60 should be reasonably survivable. In this study we focuse on cheap glass (BaO∗2SiO 2 ) and (DSB: Ce) glass ceramics capable for a mass production. Loading this glass by admixing gadolinium oxide (Gd 3+ ) provides a two times larger light yield. Both type of the materials can be produced in fiber and bulk geometry.
