Description
This year we launched the 3rd Industrial Workshop on FAST (Fast Advanced Scintillator Timing http://www.cost.eu/COST_Actions/TDP/Actions/TD1401) at the European Trans Domain COST Action in Chamonix. This workshop brought together scholars, industry leaders and visionaries from across the world to discuss how academia and industry can partner to address the challenges and the opportunities that scintillator-based detectors with time precision better than 100ps presents.
A round-table discussion between the representatives from the industry and science should demonstrate what the industrial side need from the academia and vice versa at the end of the workshop. The success of the Research and Industrial Workshop and the dialogue that we started should continue in the following years.

Fast and efficient scintillators are required by a number of applications, namely in high energy physics and medical imaging (Positrom Emission Tomography – PET) where so call time-of-light (TOF) techniques are used and timing coincidence resolution (TCR) is of critical importance. Today, with LSO-type single crystals, TCR values closed to 100 ps have been demonstrated, but it seems improbable...
Changing from Academic to Entrepreneurship is certainly a glamorous dream for everyone. But this is a very hard road in reality. Research in crystal growth and application has a lot of fun and we all enjoyed to do it. There seems to have endless number of materials that can be studied in research. However, when to put it in real industrial application, the usable material list drops...

1- JSC “Fomos-Materials” Moscow, Russia
Here we report some results for the scintillation crystal growth and their performance. JSC “Fomos-Materials” is a Company which is involved in the crystal growth by different methods of the crystal pulling from the melt. We produce not only crystal ingots but also elements and more complicated assembly from the crystalline...
