3. High-energy physics: CdWO4 scintillator has high stopping power and high density, and is suitable for high-energy physics experiments, detection and measurement of high-energy particles.

4. Oil and gas exploration: CdWO4 scintillator is used in downhole gamma spectrometer for oil and gas exploration. These tools help determine the presence and estimate the size of oil and gas reserves.

5. Security inspection: CdWO4 scintillator is used in radiation detectors for security inspection, such as port incoming inspection.

In summary, CdWO4 scintillator is a widely used radiation detection material, which is widely used in nuclear detection, medical imaging, high energy physics, oil and gas exploration, security inspection and other fields due to its excellent performance.

CdWO4 (cadmium tungstate) scintillators have several advantages:

1. High density: CdWO4 has a high density of 7.9g/cm3 and has good blocking ability to gamma radiation.

2. High light yield: The scintillator has a high light yield, which means it can efficiently convert gamma rays into visible light for detection.

3. High energy resolution: CdWO4 has high energy resolution and can be used for precise measurement of gamma ray energy.

4. Insensitive to magnetic fields: CdWO4 scintillators are insensitive to magnetic fields, which makes them useful in applications where magnetic fields are present.
