摘要
Radiation damage of Lu2SiO5：Ce （LSO：Ce） crystals was investigated through intense UV light. An absorption band at 435 nm was observed in the transmission spectrum of the damaged LSO：Ce crystal, similar to that of absorption band caused by gamma ray irradiation. GDMS analysis for LSO：Ce crystals revealed the existence of impurities, such as Yb in the crystals. The impurities might be responsible for the optical absorption of the color center and the radiation center.
