| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we aim at developing fast scintillation materials having subnanosecond decay time constant of scintillation using superradiance. We have chosen tetracene as a candidate compound, for which suparradiance has been observed under pulsed laser irradiation. We have grown single crystals of tetracene with evaporation method. Temporal profiles of scintillation were measured using a pulsed electron beam as an excitation source. The observed decay time constant of the scintillation of tetracene was on the order of nanoseconds. Unfortunately, subnanosecond decay time constant has not been achieved, fast scintillation was achieved using tetracene.
