Scintillator light yield: ~40 γ/keV NaI(Tl), ~10 γ/keV BGO, ~9 γ/keV plastic

Organic (plastic BC-408, stilbene, anthracene) and inorganic crystalline (NaI(Tl), CsI(Tl), BGO, LYSO, LaBr₃(Ce)) scintillators convert a fraction η (~5-15%) of deposited energy into UV-visible photons through excitation of a dopant…
