GAGG(Ce) - Gadolinium Aluminum Gallium Garnet (Gd₃Al₂Ga₃O₁₂) doped with Ce is a newly developed scintillator material. GAGG(Ce) is one of the brightest scintillators with an emission peak at 520nm, which matches well with Photo Diodes (PD) and Silicon Photon Multiplier (SiPM). GAGG(Ce) has excellent radiation resistance, durability against moisture, and mechanical ruggedness, making them well-fit for a broad range of applications. Furthermore, GAGG(Ce) scintillation crystals have good non-self-radiant radiation resolution.

Hangzhou Shalom EO offers custom bulk GAGG(Ce) scintillators. Our GAGG series scintillators products are the ideal option for Time-of-Flight Positron Emission Tomography (TOF-PET), Positron Emission Mammography (PEM), Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT), Computerized Tomography (CT), X-radiation and gamma-radiation detection in nuclear, space, industrial, medical fields. GAGG(Ce) Scintillation Arrays (minimum thickness 0.05mm free-standing, 0.01mm with substrates) and GAGG(Ce) Scintillation Arrays are also available in Shalom EO.

Applications:

Nuclear medicine: ToF-PET, PEM, SPECT, CT
Radiation detector
Oil detection equipment
Security check equipment
