The ion beam flux in the range from 10^12 to 10^13 ions/(cm^2 s) 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 Y_3Al_5O_12:Ce with a binder and that sintered. Their applications to ITER lost alpha diagnostics are discussed.}, title = {Characterization of scintillators for lost alpha diagnostics on burning plasma experiments}, volume = {Vol.77}, year = {2006} }
