ABSTRACT:
A multi-layer scintillator having a first and a second layer of scintillation material. In one embodiment, the scintillator first layer has fast scintillation characteristics and the second layer has a higher transparency than the first layer. The two scintillating layers are bonded together so that a light signal is transferred from the first layer to the second layer and the second layer to a photodiode adjacent the second layer. The specific scintillating materials are selected to achieve the desired characteristics of the scintillator.
