X-ray phosphors (from Arndt, 1982)

Phosphor	Type	Bulk density	No. of photons per 8 keV quantum		Max. emission wavelength (nm)	Decay to 1% (s)
Phosphor	Type	Bulk density	Produced	Collected^†	Max. emission wavelength (nm)	Decay to 1% (s)
ZnS (Ag)	Polycrystal	4.1	750	300	450	3 × 10⁻⁷ + slow components
Gd₂O₂S	Polycrystal	7.1	500	200	550	10⁻³
CsI (Tl)	Monocrystal	4.5	240	62	580	10⁻⁶

^†These figures are for collection on a photocathode on the opposite side of a fibre-optics face plate, in the absence of a reflective coating.
