Abstract

Samples of mesh-like scintillation ceramic elements with an intricate shape based on Gd3Al2Ga3O12:Ce garnet have been obtained for the first time by 3D-printing for use in scintillation flow detectors of α, β, and γ-ray radiations in gaseous and liquid media. A method for their production is described, results of measurements of the scintillation light yield in ceramic samples under exposure to α particles are presented, and ways of improving their scintillation characteristics are proposed. Their applicability to inhomogeneous flow scintillation cells used in high-performance liquid chromatography is discussed. The unique capabilities of the 3D-printing technology for creating intricately shaped detector elements with optimized efficiency are noted.
