Abstract
We report the synthesis and the characterization of an improved cerium -activated scintillating glass suitable for X-ray imaging. 2 mm thick samples were tested under X-ray excitation and the results are compare d with the ones reported for commercial glasses. The glass under inves tigation is approximately 30% more efficient under the irradiation of a radiological X-ray tube.
