The investigation of the characteristic luminescent response of Ce-doped silica bers under exposure<br> to electrons in the 20 - 200 GeV energy range is reported in this work, in order to explore the feasibility<br> to employ silica-based bers for a simultaneous dual-re...

The results of irradiation tests on Ce-doped sol-gel<br> silica using X- and g-rays up to 10 kGy are reported,<br> in order to investigate the radiation hardness of this<br> material for high energy physics applications. Sol-gel<br> silica fibers with Ce concentrations ...

Abstract The optical emission from the 5d – 4f allowed transition of Pr 3+ ions embedded in sol-gel silica is investigated for High Energy Physics applications requiring fast scintillating materials. A complete and detailed characterization of the optical, scintillation...
