The invention relates to an inorganic scintillator material of formula Lu .sub.(2−y) Y .sub.(y−z−x) Ce.sub.xM.sub.zSi.sub.(1−v) M′ .sub.vO.sub.5, in which:

M represents a divalent alkaline earth metal and

M′ represents a trivalent metal,

(z+v) being greater than or equal to 0.0001 and less than or equal to 0.2;

z being greater than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to 0.2;

v being greater than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to 0.2;

x being greater than or equal to 0.0001 and less than 0.1; and

y ranging from (x+z) to 1.

In particular, this material may equip scintillation detectors for applications in industry, for the medical field (scanners) and/or for detection in oil drilling. The presence of Ca in the crystal reduces the afterglow, while stopping power for high-energy radiation remains high.
