The 3 in. size Ce1%:Gd3Al2Ga3O12 single crystals were prepared by the Czochralski (Cz) method. Optical constants were measured. Chemical composition analysis and uniformity of scintillation decay and light yield along growth direction were evaluated. The timing resolution measurement for a pair of 3 mm x 3 mm x 3 mm size Ce:GAGG scintillator crystals was performed using Si-PMs. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
