Abstract: The characteristics of light output by ion beam irradiations under high ion fluxes have been measured for three kinds of scintillators: ZnS:Ag deposited on the glass plate, Y3Al5O12:Ce powder stiffened with a binder, and Y3Al5O12:Ce ceramics sintered at high temperature. The ion beam flux in the range from 1012to1013ions∕(cm2s) is irradiated to simulate the burning plasma experiments. The decrease of light output has been observed by long time ion irradiation. The deterioration of ZnS:Ag deposited scintillator is most serious. The deterioration has been improved for the scintillators of Y3Al5O12:Ce with a binder and that sintered. Their applications to ITER lost alpha diagnostics are discussed.
