Abstract

Garnet based scintillators have been shown to have high light yield with fast scintillation decay constants. The availability of high refractive index resin enables the fabrication of translucent garnet based scintillating composites; here, this study investigates optical transport improvements through reducing the refractive index difference between composite constituents. The results of this study will demonstrate radiation response characteristics of garnet based scintillating composites, support hard-radiation imaging applications, basic science and explore optical transport limitations in composite technology.
