GAGG:Ce
{{Short description|Scintillator material}}
Cerium-doped gadolinium aluminium gallium garnet (GAGG:Ce) is a single-crystal scintillator material (can also be used as ceramic poly-crystal scintillator).{{Cite journal |last1=Zhu |first1=Yao |last2=Qian |first2=Sen |last3=Wang |first3=Zhigang |last4=Guo |first4=Hao |last5=Ma |first5=Lishuang |last6=Wang |first6=Zhile |last7=Wu |first7=Qi |date=2020-07-01 |title=Scintillation properties of GAGG:Ce ceramic and single crystal |url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0925346720303098 |journal=Optical Materials |volume=105 |pages=109964 |doi=10.1016/j.optmat.2020.109964 |issn=0925-3467|url-access=subscription }}https://indico.cern.ch/event/818783/contributions/3598450/attachments/1951210/3239228/GAGG-CHEF2019.pdf It is being considered for applications in astrophysics, such as in high-energy gamma ray detection.{{Cite journal |last1=Yoneyama |first1=M. |last2=Kataoka |first2=J. |last3=Arimoto |first3=M. |last4=Masuda |first4=T. |last5=Yoshino |first5=M. |last6=Kamada |first6=K. |last7=Yoshikawa |first7=A. |last8=Sato |first8=H. |last9=Usuki |first9=Y. |date=2018-02-21 |title=Evaluation of GAGG:Ce scintillators for future space applications |url=https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1748-0221/13/02/P02023 |journal=Journal of Instrumentation |volume=13 |issue=2 |pages=P02023 |doi=10.1088/1748-0221/13/02/p02023 |issn=1748-0221|url-access=subscription }}
The Gamma-ray Transients Monitor (a space telescope), which tracks Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) and other bright gamma-ray transients with energies ranging from 50 keV to 2 MeV uses GAGG scintillator array (50 mm x 50 mm x 8 mm) as its sensor units.{{Cite journal |last=Chang |first=Hsiang-Kuang |last2=Lin |first2=Chi-Hsun |last3=Tsao |first3=Che-Chih |last4=Chu |first4=Che-Yen |last5=Yang |first5=Shun-Chia |last6=Huang |first6=Chien-You |last7=Wang |first7=Chao-Hsi |last8=Su |first8=Tze-Hsiang |last9=Chung |first9=Yun-Hsin |last10=Chang |first10=Yung-Wei |last11=Gong |first11=Zi-Jun |last12=Hsiang |first12=Jr-Yue |last13=Lai |first13=Keng-Li |last14=Lin |first14=Tsu-Hsuan |last15=Lu |first15=Chia-Yu |date=2022-01-15 |title=The Gamma-ray Transients Monitor (GTM) on board Formosat-8B and its GRB detection efficiency |url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0273117721008048 |journal=Advances in Space Research |volume=69 |issue=2 |pages=1249–1255 |doi=10.1016/j.asr.2021.10.044 |issn=0273-1177|doi-access=free }}
