Abstract
It is shown that the LFS-3 crystal installed as a luminescent screen in a picosecond image tube provides the shortest afterglow time in comparisonwith all other fast-damping luminescent screens such as Y3Al5O12:Ce, Y2SiO5:Ce, and others we previously tested under similar conditions. The LFS-3 crystal exposed to single 8-ps pulses of 12–15-keV electrons shows the luminescence decay time no more than 250 ns by the level of 10-2 of the maximum.
