The development of scintillator materials for scattered neutrons is essential in studying laser fusion
experiments. We have previously investigated and proposed Pr

glasses as scintillators for neutron detection. The APLF + Pr glass emissions are then investigated with
synchrotron radiation excitation and varying sample temperature. APLF + Pr glasses exhibit
luminescence emissions located at 200 to 300 nm and 400 nm attributed to the 4f5d→4f

) transitions, respectively. In addition, the 200 to 300-nm emission is not substantially
affected by temperature, while the 400-nm emission intensities increase with decreasing sample
temperature. This temperature dependence is attributed to cross relaxation whose effect can be
controlled by the Pr-doping concentration. Our results suggest that doping concentration of APLF + Pr
must be optimized and that APLF + Pr glasses must operate at low temperatures for better neutron
detection.
