With the same intension, we fabricated glasses of composition 45P2O5:35Li2O:(10-x)GdI3:5Al2O3:5Ca2CO3:xCeBr3 (x = 1, 2, 3, 5) in molar ratio using conventional technique followed by thermal annealing. The luminescence studies confirmed the energy transfer process from Gd3+ to Ce3+ -ions. The scintillation measurements of the optimized sample were performed under the excitation of α -particles and γ-rays. A photopeak was detected under γ-ray excitation at 662 keV energy from 137Cs source. The estimated absolute light yield was 1600 ± 200 Photons/MeV. The shortest component of the decay time under α -particles and γ -ray excitations was found 32.5 ± 0.3 ns and 39.9 ± 0.4 ns, respectively. In the future, the glass configuration can be engineered to improve radiation detection performance.enPhosphate glass, Luminescence, Scintillation, Light yield, Decay timeJournal Article, Peer Reviewed
