Activated cesium salts are an integral part in scintillation detectors. They absorb high-energy radiation such as x-rays and ɣ-rays, and scintillate instantaneously, i.e. reemit the absorbed energy in the form of the visible light.
Activated cesium salts are successfully used in the following application:
- Medical imaging: digital radiography (CR, DR) and tomography (CT, PET, SPECT),
- Particle physics (calorimeter in projects such as CLEO, BaBAR, GLAST),
- Security imaging, like airport scanners,
- Non-destructive testing.
